Bruins draft pick Danton Heinen finds a home for next season with one-year deal
Forward Danton Heinen was drafted in the fourth round (116th overall) by the Boston Bruins in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Yesterday, the British Columbia native signed a new one-year deal to remain in Pittsburgh. A statement via Penguins PR:
"The Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to terms with forward Danton Heinen on a one-year contract, it was announced today by general manager Ron Hextall.
The one-way deal will run through the 2022-23 campaign and carries an average annual value of $1 million.
Heinen, 27, finished his first season with Pittsburgh in 2021-22, recording 18 goals, 15 assists and 33 points in 76 games. His 18 goals were a single-season career high, and his three power-play goals tied his career best set in 2019-20. Fifteen of his 18 goals came at even strength, which trailed only Jake Guentzel (33) and Sidney Crosby (23) for most on the Penguins."
