The Penguins have a number of tough decisions to make this offseason, particularly when it comes to unrestricted free agents Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, and Bryan Rust.
When it comes to one of the Penguins' pending restricted free agents, it's a no-brainer what should happen in the immediate future.
It's Kasperi Kapanen, and the Penguins should undoubtedly extend Kapanen a qualifying offer.
Kapanen didn't quite live up to his $3.2 million cap hit last season, and it might seem like letting Kapanen walk would be a simple way to shed salary this summer.
