This article was written in our local newspaper here in Finland 17th of December:Good to hear that Janne isn't giving up... I would love to see him in a Pens uni for the long haul, and i still feel that it is a possibility... But I do think that he may be able to flourish on teams in the West that run a more European (aka superior) system...
Pesonen will not return back to Europe during this season.
Janne Pesonen did not used the possibility in his NHL-contract to come back to Europe by 15th of December. Many European top teams - for example his previous team Oulun Kärpät - were interested in and asked Pesonen if he was willing to come back, but he didn't wanted to do it.
"Even though I have not yet received a permanent place in the NHL, there is no reason for defeatism" Janne says. "Janne knows that he is a NHL level player and he waits for his chance to prove it" says his player-agent Mr. Ilkka Larva.
Obe's comment: You can believe that there were some very exciting moments one week ago when we were waiting for his final decision here in Finland.
In other news Taffe and Wallace got downgraded from 1st class to riding the bus again as they have been reassigned to the AHL... not sure what this means, could just be that all the injured players could be ready to get back after the holidays... I wouldn't expect another call up, but who knows, maybe Janne Claus may deliver a little late....
