Overview
- Pittsburgh placed the 25-year-old defenseman on unconditional waivers Monday for contract termination, which would make him an unrestricted free agent if he clears.
- The action comes after the team suspended him without pay for failing to report to their AHL affiliate, a suspension a Penguins spokesperson confirmed Sunday.
- Zamula arrived in Pittsburgh on Dec. 31 in a one-for-one trade that sent forward Philip Tomasino to the Flyers after Zamula had cleared waivers and been assigned to Lehigh Valley.
- Tomasino reported to the Phantoms and has already played since the deal, logging games for Philadelphia’s AHL affiliate over the weekend.
- Multiple outlets report league interest in Zamula and expect a quick, lower-cost signing if he clears, and termination would relieve Pittsburgh of his remaining 2025–26 salary obligations.
