ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old winger was signed out of his native Germany this past offseason after putting up 35 points in 47 games for Mannheim of the DEL last season, but recorded just seven points in 46 games with AHL Springfield. After being swapped for a similarly disappointing foreign import in Plotnikov, he seems likely to join the Penguins' AHL ranks, with a call-up to the big leagues not seemingly imminent.
