Haggerty was brought in by the Panthers from the Penguins in a minor-league swap for Kevin Roy.

Haggerty agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with the Penguins on Tuesday, Jonathan Bombulie of TribLive.com reports.

Haggerty was placed on waivers by the Penguins on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

New York Post hockey scribe Larry Brooks is perplexed with the Rangers' decision to guarantee youngster Ryan Haggery a clause that will prevent them from sending him to the minor leagues the rest of this season. "There is nothing inappropriate about the Rangers agreeing to accelerate the cycle on Haggerty's NHL arbitration and free-agent clocks by allowing him to burn the first season of his three-year entry-level deal," Brooks writes. "That is part of business. But a guarantee not to send Haggerty to Hartford - even if that's where the young wing belongs and, more likely than not, where he would benefit from playing pro hockey for the remainder of the Wolf Pack schedule rather than skating in practice with the Rangers? It seems wrong." Brooks adds: "Maybe Haggerty will earn his keep. But even if he does not, the Rangers have to keep him. Something seems out of focus with that picture."
