CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins' prospect pool is a shallow one.
Within that, the pool of right-handed defensemen has the depth of a kiddie pool.
The top two right-handed defensemen in the system are arguably undrafted free agent signing Colin Swoyer and 2022 sixth-round pick Nolan Collins, the latter being a member of the organization for all of three days now.
There's Josh Maniscalco, a free agent signing in 2020 who spent the bulk of last year in the ECHL. Ryan McCleary is a 2021 seventh-round pick with just one full season of junior hockey under his belt.
