Eric-Tangradi

11th year left wing Eric Tangradi(26) leaves the nest for a first time signing a one-year deal with Barys Astana of the KHL for 2019/2020.

The former high draft pick has played 150 NHL games (5-11-16) including 6 last season under contract to New Jersey Devils (1 assist) and 467 in the AHL (160-180-340) with a +39 rating.

It will be little surprise to see the 30-year old do very well in Russia’s top league.

Eric Tangradi (25)

Entering his third season, extra large-sized Pittsburgh Penguins‘ forward Eric Trangradi(25) at 6’4″ 221 lbs. looks to make himself a permanent fixture in the team’s lineup for the 2011/2012 season.

He seemed to be on his way last year but got derailed when he was knocked out for over a month with a concussion.

Originally drafted by Anaheim in 2007 in the 2nd round (#42 overall) he was traded before ever playing with them.

He’s spent most of his first two seasons with the PensAHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton becoming a fan favorite at Casey Plaza.

I would say he should find a spot on the NHL roster for himself if he stays healthy.
