After all of that, Egor Zamula has been waived by the Pittsburgh Penguins for contract termination. This is the second time being waived since the Flyers waived the defenseman<\/a> on December 18th, 2025. <\/p>\n

The former Flyer created a bit of a stir after failing to report to the Penguins. He was assigned to the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Penguins after being dealt from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in exchange for Philip Tomasino. <\/p>\n

Tomasino reported to Lehigh Valley (AHL), where he has a point in two games played for the Phantoms. Zamula never reported to the AHL. <\/p>\n

The initial report was that the Penguins were ok<\/a> Zamula\u2019s lack of presence. He was suspended for failing to report, and that\u2019s that. <\/p>\n

Now that he has been waived for contract termination, Chris Johnston of The Athletic is reporting that multiple NHL teams have interest<\/a> in the 6\u20193\u2033 left-shot defenseman. Zamula wanted an NHL opportunity, but was not going to get one in Philadelphia or even Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n

In 168 NHL games, Zamula had 8 goals and 41 points, plus a -12 rating. <\/p>\n

Now, eyes shift outside of the State of Pennsylvania to see who signs the blueliner. He can ink a deal worth about half of his $1.7 million cap hit. <\/p>\n

With the termination, the Penguins clear cap space and are now free of his remaining salary. Essentially, the Penguins acquired cap space in exchange for Tomasino in their 12\/31 trade with the Flyers. <\/p>\n
