Libor Hajek - NHL News & Rumors

Secures minor-league deal Hajek signed a one-year, minor-league contract with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Hajek had been with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's NHL affiliate Pittsburgh during training camp but was unable to secure a contract.

Unless he signs a two-way contract later in the campaign, Hajek won't be eligible to be recalled to Pittsburgh.

Impact Hajek went unqualified by the Rangers in June, ending his five-year stint with the team. He has never appeared in more than 44 games or earned more than five points in a season. At 25 years old, he may still be able to find his way to a full-time NHL role. Hajek's PTO will allow him to showcase his game during the Penguins' training camp, though it's unclear if he'll earn a full contract from them or any other team.
