From Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
The Penguins have agreed to a two-year contract with free-agent forward Matt Cooke.
The deal is worth $1.2 million per season.
Cooke, who will be 30 on Sept. 7, is 5 foot 11, 205 pounds and is an accomplished agitator and penalty-killer.

He's closing in on his first game since January 13th.
The 2024 2nd rounder is in Winnipeg where he'll spend the rest of the season…
