Pesonen has Impressed Coaches and Team Officials

Here's something about Janne in the USA Today's Pittsburgh Penguins Team Report for 10/03/2008:

—LW Janne Pesonen, a free agent acquisition from Finland, might find himself skating with center Sidney Crosby and right wing Miroslav Satan before too long. LW Pascal Dupuis opened camp at that spot, but Pesonen has impressed coaches and team officials, who believe he will adapt well to the North American game.

That isn't something that you would find in an article (I'm not quite sure how credible USA Today is on sports) if they had any intentions on cutting Pesi!!
