yeah thats about right, one goal in ten games dont think thats exactly a breakthrough candidate man...

yeah one goal in ten games dont exactly scream "breakout season" lol even if its a breakout potential guy you gotta put up some numbers to be considered

idk man that's being kinda harsh i think he showed some flashes of talent late in the season and i'd like to give him a chance to develop in a different league honestly

@section7pit man i see where u're coming from but if he was gonna make it here he woulda made some kinda impact by now honestly.

i mean i think hes a penguin draft pick so that automatically means we gotta give him more time but at this rate idk man

@ryan_penguins man i gotta disagree with u on that one, being a penguin draft pick dont automatically get someone more time to prove themselves ngl

man i gotta agree w/ @ryan_penguins on this one, a guy who's been with us since draft day deserves a little more leash honestly it's hard to give up on someone that's had as much development time as Koppanen already has

@section7pit tbh i think u're giving him too much credit for his flashes of talent, i've seen plenty of guys have those who still dont make it here honestly.

tbh pittsburgh's dev system is still one of the best nhl teams dont mess w/ a penguin draft pick man

@section7pit yeah u make some good points bout the system man but at least we know we're invested in these young guys, like we actually care ngl about 'em

I gotta agree with @ryan_penguins on this one, a guy who's been with us since draft day does deserve some patience. We've seen plenty of our own prospects take time to develop and it seems like Pittsburgh is just as invested in their young guys as we are. Still, you can't blame someone for exploring opportunities elsewhere.

@RinkRatRandy i gotta disagree dude, being invested in these guys is one thing but we've given koppanen all the chances and imo its time for a change of pace man
