2017 NHL Draft: Penguins select defenseman Zachary Lauzon with 51st overall pick

The Penguins were set to have a first round pick but made a somewhat controversial trade to acquire Ryan Reaves and they ended up moving down 20 picks from 31 to 51. And with that 51st pick, they add their first prospect of the weekend to get defenseman Zachary Lauzon from the QMJHL.

Lauzon seems like a bit of a reach, being as he was just the #143 ranked prospect according to NHL Central Scouting. Obviously according to Pittsburgh scouting he was way higher. NHL Network had him at #163.

Officially listed at 6'0" and 185 pounds and being a left-handed shot not too much stands out about Lauzon.
