Will New/Old Penguin Filip Hållander Finally Make the Grade?

I’ve devoted some recent articles to up-and-comers who could earn regular duty with the Penguins’ this season before all is said and done. Promising prospects such as Harrison Brunicke and Tristan Broz, who, unfortunately, may get stacked up behind a veritable logjam of veterans.

Other Rick reminded me of a third member of the BPC (Blocked Prospects Club)…Filip Hållander.

The Pens’ second-round pick (58th overall) in 2018, the 25-year-old forward is a Last of the Mohicans of sorts, a rare prospect selected during the Jim Rutherford Era still with the club.
