Penguins' Yannick Weber: Signs one-year deal
Yannick Weber inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday and was subsequently placed on waivers, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.Weber was with the Predators during training camp on a PTO but was unable to parlay that into a permanent deal. With the Penguins decimated by injuries on the blue line, including Brian Dumoulin (lower body) who was hurt against Boston on Tuesday, the club finds itself in desperate need of reinforcements. Assuming he clears, Weber should start out on the 23-man roster right away but will no doubt be moved to the taxi squad or minors if Pittsburgh can get some of its defensemen healthy.

Yannick Weber: Released from tryout
Yannick Weber was cut loose by the Predators on Wednesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.After rejoining Nashville on a professional tryout, Weber apparently wasn't able to convince team brass to bring him back into the fold. With the team's normal AHL affiliate Milwaukee shut down for the year, finding an AHL-only contract could be tricky for the blueliner. At this point, the 32-year-old Weber may have to head overseas in order to continue his professional career. If he doesn't find another NHL deal, he would eventually retire having logged 497 career games for Montreal, Vancouver and Nashville in which he garnered 28 goals, 66 assists and 475 hits.

Yannick Weber will attend the Nashville Predators' camp on a professional tryout offer, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.Weber drew into 41 games with Nashville last season, picking up three points while averaging just 14:01 of ice time per contest. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 32-year-old vet earn a two-way deal with the Predators due to his wealth of experience and familiarity with the club, but he'll likely have to settle for a spot on the team's taxi squad.
