It won't be long until the prospects report and we can unofficially kick off the 2025-26 season. For the Pittsburgh Penguins, this could be a long one, and maybe the longest season of the otherwise legendary Sidney Crosby era.
But you know what? That's okay, considering what might be the best generational talent heading into the 2026 NHL Draft, Gavin McKenna. And for those of you living in the Steel City doubling up as Penn State fans, you're going to see a lot of McKenna, since he'll be suiting up for the Nittany Lions.
If the Penguins play poorly enough, and there's a good chance that they will, don't be surprised if they land good odds to snag the top pick.
