Penguins Want More From Koivunen, And They Are Not Subtle

Pittsburgh is clearly asking for more from Ville Koivunen, and that is usually the polite version of the message. In this league, when a young player gets singled out, it means the coaches and front office think the next step is there if he wants it badly enough. Koivunen still has the kind of runway teams dream on, but the margin for patience gets smaller fast in the NHL. The Penguins need more impact, and they are letting the kid know the leash is not infinite.
