Chirps from Center Ice

He’s like a bad penny. He always turns up.

Hopefully this penny brings luck to the Penguins in their fifteenth season.

The Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins announced today that they have signed all time leader in just about every category you can think of Tom Kostopoulos to an AHL contract.

It will be Kostopoulos’ third tenure in Wilkes-Barre. Remember last season Kostopoulos was claimed on waivers by the New Jersey Devils right after the lockout.

Fitting that, an inaugural member of the first WBS team in 1999-2000, will be on the team ready to set sail on it’s 15th season in the AHL.

Kostopoulos, a one-time WBS captain, most likely has the “C” if he wants it.

I’ve updated the 2013 Offseason Moves List appropriately.
