I know Jesse hopes Alexeyev falls.
If JR did manage to score a middle 1st, i'd like Dobson.

saves a lot of anger and broken hearts.I used to hope for players, now I just wait to see who we take and then research and see why I should care.
with 3 good young goalies already in the system, I don't think there is a pressing need to spend a high pick on one. with goalies, good ones can come out of nowhere.Without a 1st round pick, I think the Pens go goalie in the 2nd. .
I'm really starting to pick up steam on the Sean Durzi wagon as well.
With the way he played in the playoffs and Memorial Cup combined with his solid season, he will be gone way before that
I see him drafted in the top 7 to be honest, at #4 or 5 but I don't see how he drops that far
We would need the Coyotes pick (#5)
We are about a month out from the draft, might as well have a thread up.
It looks like the Penguins have the 53rd (2nd round), 64th (3rd round), 129th (5th round), 146th (5th round), 177th (6th round), 208th (7th round).
What do you all want to see? Expect to see?
I think the best case scenario is that the Penguins pick up another 2nd or 3rd rounder with trading a roster player, I don't think they're going to get a 1st. The D prospect pool does suck right now, but they have a lot of D prospects. They've basically been following the "draft as many D as you can" strategy for the last 2 drafts. In the last 2 drafts, the Penguins have taken 8 defensemen, 2 wingers, 1 center and 1 goalie, and you've already lost the goalie and one of the defensemen. Their D prospect pool isn't good, but they have D prospects.
I think they just need to go BPA at all of their picks. They have a bunch of okay or better D prospects and F prospects, the only thing they're really lacking in the organization is goalie prospects and actually good prospects. Bellerive and Sprong are probably the only 2 good prospects they have left in their system, maybe Riikola too (but he's marginally a prospect), I don't consider Jarry or ZAR prospects anymore.
I thought he would drop but I would love to see the Pens target Niklas Nordgren.
