The Pittsburgh Penguins were looking to bolster their farm to the best of their abilities while staying competitive. We may not have had the best picks in the draft, but we made the best of it.
The Penguins clearly had a focus going into this year’s draft, and it wasn’t very different from last year’s strategy. The Penguins had six picks this year, and they chose four defenceman. They’ve been drafting mostly defenceman in the last two drafts.
Whether or not this works out for us is yet to be determined, but I’m sure we can trust in our scouts who brought us this far with a few Stanley Cup Championships.
