The Pittsburgh Penguins signed right-wing Connor James to a one-year contract.
James, 24, likely will play this season for the club's AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He spent this past season there and scored 12 goals to go with 32 points in 70 regular-season games. James was fourth on the club in scoring during the playoffs with eight points over 11 games.
"He is a hard-working, good-skating kid who was arguably our most consistent playoff performer in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton," assistant general manager Chuck Fletcher said. "He is a good penalty-killer, plus he chips in a bit offensively. He is a depth player."
James originally was signed as a free agent by the Penguins on Aug. 8, 2006. He was a ninth-round choice by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2002 entry draft.
