CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins' prospect pool is shallow, there's no denying that.
But with an influx of some good, young prospects like Sam Poulin, Nathan Legare, Valtteri Puustinen, and Filip Lindberg making the jump to North American professional hockey, joining a number of returning prospects like Cam Lee, Will Reilly, and Josh Maniscalco looking to take the next step in their development, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton should be an exciting team to follow this coming season.
The man leading that group is J.D. Forrest, who will be entering his sixth season in the Penguins' organization and second as head coach of the team in Wilkes-Barre.
