We don’t break news, but good for Petr.
$1.6m for 1-year.
The Penguins had $1.8m in cap space. It just wasn’t in the cards.
Also…the Pens cut 10 players.
Forwards:
Aaron Boogaard
Nicholas Petersen
Casey Pierro-Zabotel
Kevin Veilleux
Defense:
Lane Caffaro
Alex Grant
Brian Strait
Goal:
Jordan Parise
No real surprises.
- Boogaard is a much smaller version of his brother,
even at 6’3 220. He played in Wilkes-Barre last year. - Who is Nicholas Petersen?
- Veilleux is still pretty raw. He’s big, plays all 3 forward positions, and he’s got a scoring touch…let him develop.
- CPZ is an over-age player who excelled in a weak league with good teammates(Evander Kane). He’s overrated, but he’ll crack the NHL someday.
- Despite hearing good things about Alex Grant…not this year.
He apparently has an NHL-caliber shot, but not much else. - Strait looks promising too. Someday.
- Who is Lane Caffaro?
- Did you know Jordan Parise has a brother? Even if he’s good, it’s too soon for more brother talk.
