Devils have had a lot of success with undrafted FAs. I know absolutely nothing about the kid but my faith in Conte and his staff gives me hope.

A Legend

In Lou We Trust has a very informative post on Pesonen here. I highly recommend reading it.
I found this tidbit from post interesting: "288 shots on net (that's 4.8 shots per game!) while averaging over 16 minutes a game."
Solid depth move, low risk - I love it.

He's no Ilkka Pikkarainen.
You're putting too much pressure on this kid comparing him to the likes of a NJ legend and the greatest Ilkka the NHL has ever known.

Don't even bring up Janne Ojanen.

Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. What? Taxes, they'll be lower... son. The Democratic vote is the right thing to do Philadelphia, so do.
How do you spot risk? How do you avoid risk? And what makes it so risky?

I remember calling his only NHL goal. My friend and I were on the Parkway heading to Newark and I randomly said, "Ilkka with a goal tonight! It will be a weird one." If I remember correctly he shot it off the goalie, off the pipe, off the back of the goalie and in? I will always remember that one lol.You're putting too much pressure on this kid comparing him to the likes of a NJ legend and the greatest Ilkka the NHL has ever known.
EDIT: FOUND IT
Oh what a weird goal it was

That's right, you just don't see people of that ilk very often...... He was a true legend. Lou really can Pik'em..... You just knew when he was on the ice it'd be rain'en goals.....
I kill me..... But really, that was very funny in my head.

Eh, he was ok, I guess. He was no Trent Hunter! Now, THERE was a Devils legend!

I hate to be that guy, but can we change the title of this thread to 'confirmed' or something?

Somewhere Ilkka Sinsalo read your post and just shed a tear. Kudos to you for making a Flyer cry.
