Looks like a decent former ECHL/AHL minor leaguer, not sure of his coaching style

 

[Jacob]

Hey! I've been eyeing McDonald a bit but I don't know that much about him. Good ECHL record, then went to the USHL and has been really good there too. So a nice mix of working with pros and working with kids, I guess. I've watched a few interviews with him but don't have any take-aways. Just seems like.. a pretty typical coach.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Yeah, I'm tentatively excited about him if he's good at developing because we've sucked at that for a while. On the other hand, as someone (I think @SomeDude ?) pointed out, this absolutely means Sully's going nowhere.

so he should be familiar with the pittsburgh media environment

Bro he never was. He is coaching the USA 2026 olympics team. He will not be fired before that.

If anything this guy was hired to replace him in 3 years if we are lucky.

I keep hoping a stray puck hits Sully and awakens his long dormant dream of becoming a shepherd somewhere in Anatolia.

[Le Magnifique 66]

I'd love to see Ryder Ritchie drop to us!! He was really solid at the U18

 

[Jacob]

I'd love to see Ryder Ritchie drop to us!! He was really solid at the U18

Was he the captain? I remember one right shooting forward standing out to me but I think he was wearing the C.

 

[The Old Master]

I would be shocked if they passed on Richie with their first pick. (i think he's more a first-round pick)
Pettersson should go right around where we are picking. imo

 

[SEALBound]

Pettersson would be a good pick up. I talked about him a couple pages ago as a guy I see as a "safe pick".

Clearly guys with the last name Pettersson do well in this league so, makes sense.

 

[Andy99]

Yeah, not too interested in safe picks…this team needs to swing for the fences on greatness lol…also, I know we need centers but we need D equally as much…I don’t see us waiting as long as Pronman predicts to select a D man…

 

[deakka]

we need everything except maybe goalies

 

[Tom Hanks]

we need everything except maybe goalies

But his name is Axel so we need too

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Nope, Martone was team Canada's captain.

Pettersson should go right around where we are picking. imo

Looking at most rankings he is anywhere between 30 and 45. I wonder if they would move up if he is still on the board after the 1st round

 

[SomeDude]

Yeah, I'm tentatively excited about him if he's good at developing because we've sucked at that for a while. On the other hand, as someone (I think @SomeDude ?) pointed out, this absolutely means Sully's going nowhere.

I’m just glad the rumor was false about it being Spezza’s unqualified ex AHL teammate.

 

[The Old Master]

Looking at most rankings he is anywhere between 30 and 45. I wonder if they would move up if he is still on the board after the 1st round

the biggest reason he might drop is because he's been hut most of the year. so, depending on the cost, sure i would be looking at it. but that's the kind of guys i think we should be looking for. a guy that's for some reason or another drops.

Ryder Ritchie would be a steal for the penguins if he falls to the pens at #46. (or at #44)
