BREAKING: Pittsburgh Penguins to Place Young Player on Waivers
Kasperi Kapanen will be placed on waivers today.
The 26 year old is full of skill, but hasn't been able to put it all together in Pittsburgh.
Kapanen to be Placed on Waivers
With the news being put out by Mike Sullivan, this quote was put out:
When a team doesn't live up to expectations, change is inevitable - that's part of it. Kappy is a really talented player. To a certain extent, it's on all of us because we didn't find a way to maximize his potential.
We will see if a team claims him. It would give the Penguins valuable cap flexibility if he is claimed, but it is very unlikely with the deadline looming.
