Signs with German club
Dea agreed to terms on a one-year contract with DEL team Eisbaren Berlin on Wednesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Dea spent the last two seasons playing in the KHL and appeared in 16 appearances for KHL club Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik this year before agreeing to a move to Germany. The 31-year-old Dea hasn't logged an NHL game since 2022-23 when he was with Arizona. At this point, Dea shouldn't be expected back in North America any time soon.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
The last thing the Penguins needed was another center, especially considering Derick Brassard is already slated to move to the wing due to the organization's incredible depth down the middle. As such, Dea was waived a week before the new season and scooped up by New Jersey. The Quebec native is coming off a fantastic year in the minors -- having racked up 50 points in 70 contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton -- and he could spent significantly more time at the top level with his new team.
