TheRussianRocket. Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/10/report-penguins-wild-capitals-pursuing-bissonnette/Former Coyotes enforcer Paul Bissonnette has had to wait quite a while to land his next contract, but he might not be an unrestricted free agent for much longer. The Minnesota Wild and Pittsburgh Penguins are both interested in signing the 29-year-old forward, according to Fox Sports Craig Morgans source. The same source listed the Washington Capitals as another team in the running for his services, which meshes with an early statement from Bissonnettes agent, Mark Guy. Bissonnette was used sparingly by the Coyotes in 2013-14 and hes hoping to establish himself as a more regular contributor on his next team. The Capitals are believed to be his most likely destination, but its worth noting that the Penguins originally drafted him in 2003. He ended up playing in 15 games with Pittsburgh before they lost him off of waivers in 2009. The bidding war is heating up, down to 3 teams! Hearing top offer is around $6 million per over 7 years.

TheRussianRocket. Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Jokes aside, I don't get why any team would want to waste a roster spot on this guy especially considering 3 playoff teams are in on him. Definition of a plug and can do nothing other than fight. A fan fav yea but he stinks and is just taking away a spot from someone who can be far more effective.

JeremyCuddles Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Biznasty? Get in on this Benning. Guy is a waste of time unless you feel you are being pushed around by another team. Even then there are better players to go after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition of a plug and can do nothing other than fight. A fan fav yea but he stinks and is just taking away a spot from someone who can be far more effective. I remember reading that Bissonnette's advanced stats were actually quite good and showed that he could hold his weight and possibly even play up a line on a regular basis.
