Noah Welch, USA
Playing from 2006 to 2007 with the Penguins and appearing in 27 games on defense, Welch’s most important (and memorable) contribution to the Penguins was undoubtedly the return that came to the Penguins when they traded him to the Florida Panthers for Gary Roberts. Welch spent time with the Panthers, Lightning, and Thrashers, before moving on to the Swedish Elite League.
Chris Bourque, USA
Claimed off waivers from the Washington Capitals in 2010, Bourque appeared in 20 games with the Penguins. In those 20 games, Bourque did not score any goals and put up 3 assists, resulting in the Penguins waiving him only and the Capitals reclaiming him. Bourque spent the next few years bouncing around the AHL, NHL, KHL, and NLA before finding himself back on the Hershey Bears these past years.
Mark Arcobello, USA
Arcobello is another short-lived former Penguin forward on this list. Arcobello appeared in 10 games for the Penguins after being claimed off waivers in 2015 from the Nashville Predators. Shortly after he was waived by the Penguins and claimed by the Arizona Coyotes. After splitting time between the NHL and AHL, Arcobello has been playing in the Swiss National League A.
Chad Kolarik, USA
While never playing for a game with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Kolarik spent 35 games with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins in the 2012-2013 season. He scored 33 points in those games. After the AHL, Kolarik left to play in the Swedish Elite League, the Kontintental Hockey League, the Swiss National League A, and the German Ice Hockey League (DEL).
