Pittsburgh Penguins Daily:
Is Danis Zaripov a Fit For Pens?
Danis Zaripov is coming to play in the NHL following a suspension he received from the KHL. Zaripov will be speaking with a few teams regarding a potential contract for the season and Evgeni Malkin is making a push for Zaripov to become a Penguin. But, will Zaripov be a good fit for the Pens? [PensBurgh]
How Likely is a Jagr-Penguins Reunion?
Jaromir Jagr is still a free agent and some Penguins fans have voiced how Jagr could be a potential signing for the team. Sure, NHL fans are dying for Jagr to get back in the league and Pens fans would love for him to return, but, is he a fit? Jagr is a one-of-a-kind player and he deserves an NHL contract- but will he fit again with the Penguins? [Pens Labyrinth]
Penguins Looking to Prospects
Training camp is right around the corner and, while some might think the Pens need more moves, the Penguins are looking to their prospects. Between Zach Aston-Reese and Daniel Sprong, the Penguins are looking to their prospects to see what they can bring to the table. It wouldn’t be surprising to see one of these prospects crack the team’s NHL roster as the season approaches. The Penguins have a lot of reliable prospect talent and aren’t afraid to bring a new rookie into the mix; therefore, the Pens will be examining their prospect talent heavily during camp.
