I just happened to peek at NHL.com before signing off the computer at work. The headline “Hinostroza signs 1-year deal…” caught my attention. Then I noticed the “…with Penguins” part and burst out laughing.
Of course, another midget forward (Hinostroza, Vinnie goes 5’10” 183). I mean, is Mike Sullivan having a field day or what?! Somehow, he’s got Kyle Dubas eating out of the palm of his hand. Smurf City, here we come!
For good measure, Dubas also signed left wing Andreas Johnsson, an old friend from his tenure in Toronto and a comparative giant at 5’10” 194.
