NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- If the Penguins want to go "big" with their first-round pick this week, forward Sam Honzek could be an option with pick No. 14.

Honzek, at 6 foot 4 and 195 pounds, already has pro size and is one of the bigger forwards projected to go in the first round on June 28 in Nashville, Tenn.

Honzek, 18, looks to be a mid-first to late-first round pick. Rankings vary wildly with the major services, from No. 10 (Sportsnet), No. 17 (Bob McKenzie, TSN), No. 20 (Elite Prospects), No.
