TIOPS Update - Janne Pesonen signed

Postby Penultimate on Fri Jul 04, 2008 10:42 am

Janne Pesonen to PIT?
I got a tip that the Penguins are close to signing Janne Pesonen but I don't know how legit it is. Waiting to hear back from my insiders. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=4285

Hopefully he can play over here, and isn't just another one of those int'l stars who could never cut it in North America like Jiri Dopita.....

I don't claim to know him, but he threw down 78 points in 58 games in a league that is defensive and that has produced some very good two-way NHL wingers.

Strickland says that some scouts believe he is a better prospect than Fabian Brunstrom.

A lot of the Euro leagues have the leading scorer on each team wear the gold helmet so casual fans know who to look for.

I knew it was a leading scorer hat, I didn't know if it was the team's leader or the league leader though.

Selane used to have to wear that and said he hated it. He said it should have been called the "hit me helmet"
