Development camp report: Penguins have more young talent 'than the hockey world realizes'

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins wrapped up their annual development camp with a scrimmage at the Lemieux Complex on Tuesday.

With only four days of practices, it's hard to say that any of these players made any major strides on the ice, or massively improved their place in the organizational depth chart in this camp alone.

That wasn't exactly the main goal of this camp, though.

As director of player development Scott Young explained after Tuesday's scrimmage, the focuses of this camp were to get the young players acclimated to being in the Penguins' organization and set them up to be comfortable entering the main NHL training camp.
