A newcomer steps right in and right to the top of the annual Pensburgh Top 25 Under 25 listing of the top young players right now in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. It’s in part necessity due to the Penguins not having a very talented or deep pool of young players. When they stepped to the podium with the 14th overall pick this June, whoever it was probably figured to be the most valuable youngster in the organization based solely on the fact the Pens haven’t drafted so high in over a decade. It’s been even longer since Pittsburgh selected a player in the first round who profiled as a center-capable player (2007, Angelo Esposito).
