Just noticed this Dupont kid that got granted exceptional status and is already over a PPG player in the WHL, as a d-man. He's Micki's son.

He's not eligible until the 2027 draft.

Was an assist filled weekend for the top prospects this weekend!!!

Martone had 1G and 4A in 2 games
Misa had 4A in 2 games
Hagens 2A as well in 2 games
Schaefer had a 2 goal game but blanked in the other.

McQueen still out

Still Martone for me as our go to guy if available

He's fortunate to play on an extremely solid team, but if you can catch some highlights of that kid, he's a treat to watch when you consider he's 15-1/2 years old moving the puck like he does in the WHL.

I've never seen any defenseman attack like that in their draft-2 year, to do that in his draft-3 year is insane. Solid build as well to go with phenomenal edges, great vision and instincts and a dangerous enough shot.

Im going to the CHL vs USHL Top prospects game tomorrow night in London. Excited to hopefully see one or two Penguins of the future!

Yeah, I think I lean Martone. Would be hard to pass up Hagens or Schaefer if they're available though. I like Misa too, but not so much in a top-3 scenario.

Misa > Martone for me without digging in. Prefer the skating and idk if Martone is mean enough to overcome that.

But all good options. Like I said earlier in this thread this is a year where i wouldn’t be too upset at landing at 4/5th versus 2nd. Which I would not say for a draft like 2015, 2019 (predraft), 2023

Yeah, I always kinda shy away when a dude is labeled a power forward but Martone seems to have the skill to fall back on as he grows and gets stronger in a pro setting.

But yeah, anybody in the top-3 or 4 would be an incredible addition to this prospect pool.

I also think someone real early is gonna get baited into taking McQueen because of his size. So someone else may drop.

that's why i'm hoping for a top 5 pick. ..... and we are not the ones that pick him, :laugh:
 
Pens need a center to jump start the rebuild. Pens drafted RD last year and have some nice LD in the system. this is a 2 or 3 year rebuild which Dubas knows is the case. Pens have some nice pieces and adding the prospects and picks from the pending Petts, Rust, Karlsson trades will add as well. Not sure why the Pens Montreal noise is so strong. Maybe the young RD who is a scratch but Pens need to get top end talent the next 3 years here. Misa, fits but a big RW is not a killer.
