I turned on my phone this morning and was promptly greeted by a text from PP colleague Caleb DiNatale informing me that ex-Penguin Daniel Sprong has been placed on waivers by Seattle.
Mind you, the Kraken are Sprong’s second team this season (and fourth in the last four). He began the campaign skating for the man who drafted him, Jim Rutherford, in Vancouver. It’s safe to say he didn’t make a favorable impression on Canucks coach Rick Tocchet. Or Kraken skipper Dan Bylsma.
I’ll cut to the chase.
