PTO: [PIT] D Nikolai Knyzhov signs PTO with the Penguins; 18 others invited to camp

[SEALBound]

All 4 Penguins ATO invites have been re-assigned

The tricky part will be getting it down to 20 before the opening game.

Deserves a 10x10 just for the name alone.

If by some unholy miracle he makes the team, I will be first in line for a “Scooter ‘the Brick’ Brickley #69” jersey.

Is it safe to assume Beau Jeslma is a lab created hybrid of Beau Bennett, Hugh Jessiman, and Dan Bylsma?

He’ll be the most injury riddled draft bust to ever fluke his way to a cup (and earn a 5 year contract out of it)

Was surprised to see that all he was able to
land was an ECHL deal

Damn, was Knyzhov really that bad? I figured he’d end up in the A, not the coast. Damn. He looked like an okay 7D at the NHL level previously

Dude signed in the ECHL instead of the KHL, clearly there is something keeping him stateside..,

 

[Soul Assumption]

Dude signed in the ECHL instead of the KHL,

If he can't even find a job in the AHL, who would want him in the KHL?

100%. He’s going to be making peanuts compared to what he can get in the KHL

Maybe he realize that once he heads home he is never coming back??

Most of failed nhl players that return to the khl look like complete crap and are greatly overpaid. He would nicely fit in that category.

Yeah what a shame injuries derailed his career big time, he looked promising for the Sharks for the while he got to play and seemed like he had a future in the NHL.
