NPR,but I think Pens should go after him,not because he is from Slovenia.. Quick,energetic,skilled player.. Could replace TK on 3rd line for cheap,if he finds he form.. He was best player in strong EBEL league this season for Olimpija Ljubljana,with 30 games,19 goals and 29 assists, but then he got injured..
Yeah,I know we wont claim him,but It would be nice to see Slovenian player on my Pens.. But if given a fair shot,I think he can make a decent NHL career as 3rd,maybe 4th liner..

We have a grand total of 2 non-North Americans on our team. Isn't likely at all. Ray Shero loves himself some North American Beef.
It wouldn't be much different than Boychuk really...I think Boychuk has more skills, Mursak has a higher compete level and more speed. It's an unlikely claim. The Wings had a jammed up bottom six, I'm kind of surprised this is the guy over Drew Miller for instance...but that's Detroit, I saw Dan Cleary on a line with Pavel Datsyuk the other night, so I'm not sure what they have going on...
We basically have the center version of Mursak in Joe Vitale, so we don't really need him. Plus, we have a fairly tough to use Boychuk. So, Mursak probably doesn't add much to the roster...

He tinkers in the European/Russian market too. See Ruutu, Ekman, Sykora, Satan, Feds, Michalek, Kovalev and Poni.
Pesonen and Mursak arent the same type of players,also Pesonen is expected to be top6 winger, Mursak isnt - always was meant more of a 3rd line role player in NHL,if..

No offense, but he was waived and 29 other teams decided not to take a chance on him. So he probably just isn't good enough. No shame in that.
