Pens OFFICIALLY sign Pesonen?

Question

http://penguins.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=367924

Do you think he can actually make it to play in the NHL? Or do you expect him to be down in Wilkes-Barre (farm team) for a while?

Answer 1

Depends on his performance in training camp I guess.

I think we'll see him with the Penguins early in the season, maybe even at the start if he adapts well to the NHL's rules and rink size.

Answer 2

That's awesome, I think he will play for Wilkes-Barre,

before making a debut for the Penguins.

Answer 3

I think it will take a little while but he will....i was excited to have him after watching some youtube videos of him he has really good stick and skate skills...he likes the front of the net which is good...he can replace malone eventually

I was wondering how to say his name too

Answer 4

I believe it is the second one puck had.  I heard he could make the squad maybe a third liner, if not he will be in wilkes-barre.  I would say it depends on who makes it and how well the pens are playing, plus what the injury situation is plus player performance.

Answer 5

im very sure pesonen will start on the farm team an if he plays well enough, he may earn a spot on the roster as the season goes on.

Answer 6

Thank F*CK! I can actually sleep now! =)

I think he'll get a call to the starting lineup..........

I can't believe they actually put that youtube video on the site......LOL

Sidenote: I think I heard "Yyann-uh Pess-a-nin" in a video, or I'm just assuming that because he's finnish, lol

Or Pes-oh-nin

I love it, lmao

P.S. I doubt he'd leave top status in the Finnish league to play on an AHL team at age 26, under only a one-year deal with us

Answer 7

Just call him Fred it's easier and make about as much sense as calling Malkin Geno!!!!

Answer 8

I bet he gets the right to earn a spot on the PENS in camp. If not, then he is sent to Wilkes-Barre for training.

Answer 9

He may do good down at the Baby Pens... Then come up a little into the season.
