PITTSBURGH — The Penguins are giving Kasperi Kapanen one more chance — actually, two.
The club and the mercurial winger agreed to terms Thursday on a two-year contract. The deal runs through 2023-24 and carries a $3.2 million average annual value.
Kapanen just completed a three-year deal with the same exact $3.2 million AAV. The Penguins needed to submit a qualifying offer of just $840,000 to retain the restricted free agent's rights, due to the front-loaded nature of his prior deal.
