Minutes after the deal was officially announced, Kasimir Kaskisuo (kaz-AH-mear kass-KA-soo-oh) was already soliciting assistance from some creative followers.
Nashville signed the 27-year-old Finnish goaltender to a one-year, two-way contract on Tuesday, and after expressing his excitement to join the organization on Twitter, Kaskisuo asked fans of the Predators and the Milwaukee Admirals to design his new gear.
The netminder, who made his NHL debut last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs and appeared in 27 games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, put out the challenge in a tweet with a blank set of leg pads, a glove and a blocker for fans to use.
