| Kaunisto in his pre-prospect days |
Signed as a free agent in March 2010, Ray Kaunisto might not be one of the more ubiquitous prospects in the organization - like Tyler Toffoli, Martin Jones, Derek Forbort, etc. Yet, more people should be paying attention to him, even if only for his world class sense of humor.
During his inaugural season in Manchester last year, the 6-foot-4 left winger posted eight goals and 50 penalty minutes in 57 games played.
He also routinely chirped his teammates and other hockey related personalities on twitter. He's also not afraid to tweet about his personal life...
