BREAKING: Another first round pick on WAIVERS
Each day brings more thrilling news on the waiver-wire and today was no exception.
Some teams that are still vying for a playoff spot, and some teams are beginning to realize they might be sellers at the upcoming deadline.
While the Washington Capitals decided to become sellers last night, the Penguins appear to be clearing space to remain competitive. Today, they have announced that they will be waiving 26-year-old Kasperi Kapanen. Kapanen has scored 7 goals and 20 points in 43 games for the Penguins this season, but it seems the organization has grown tired of his inconsistency.
Coach Sullivan on Kapanen: "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."
