According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Penguins may be more interested than we thought in signing KHL star Danis Zaripov. In fact, they seem to really be looking at the prospect of signing him.
Zaripov is skilled KHL star who has recently been banned from the league for using illegal substances. However, he has been cleared to sign an NHL contract if he wishes, which will most likely be the case.
Another Penguins star is already pushing for this signing. Earlier this week I wrote about how Evgeni Malkin would like for the Penguins to sign Zaripov.
