Shero, who has two years remaining on his Penguins deal, will keep busy by doing work with USA Hockey.
"I appreciate the opportunity, and it’s always nice to give back," Shero said. "I want to stay involved and be in touch with people, so I’ll do some scouting for USA Hockey, which will involve some stuff with the world junior evaluations, which will be really good for me in terms of getting back on the amateur side. But also, obviously, will watch some NHL games. It’s important to see how different coaches are coaching and using different systems, different adjustments. What I do find right now is that when you’re not affiliated with one team, it’s a lot easier to get information from managers and coaches. You try to make yourself better that way."
