we signed janne pesonen a finland league mvp today to a 2 year deal, this guy could really rack up some points with sid or geno on his line!!
The Penguins' efforts to flesh out their roster have stretched to the far side of the Atlantic.
They are trying to sign free-agent left winger Janne Pesonen, a 26-year-old Finn.
He has been offered a contract, and the Penguins hope to learn later today or tomorrow whether he will accept it. Pesonen is believed to be considering offers from teams in Russia and Switzerland, as well.
Pesonen was selected by Anaheim in the ninth round of the 2004 entry draft, but has not played in North America.
He had 34 goals and 44 assists in 56 games with Karpat in Finland's Elite League last season, placing him sixth in the league scoring race. His totals were up from 22 goals and 33 assists in the same number of games in 2006-07.
