Cruz Lucius over Murashov and Ilyin is interesting.Here’s a national writer’s top 10 for the Pens…interesting that Murashov is not on it and he gives higher marks to Howe etc and my boy, Broz, than this Board does…

2024-25 NHL Prospect Pool Breakdown: Pittsburgh Penguins’ Top 10
The Penguins’ pipeline is in the bottom half of the NHL, but a few notable names could still become impact...www.dailyfaceoff.com
They also said Lucius is “speedy” but I remember hearing skating was something he needed to improve?Cruz Lucius over Murashov and Ilyin is interesting.
I get ranking Brunicke and Howe higher since they were recent high 2nd round picks but that screams more "recency bias" and "shiny new object" to me putting them over Murashov and Ilyin.
As I pointed out in other threads though, nice NEW problem to have. Past years, we are looking at 5th round nobodies or recent UFA signings to round out top 10. Now we get to complain that a goalie on the level of Murashov is not making a list.
Getting into some nuances here but "speed" and "skating" are a bit different. As a player, I had good breakaway speed. I could regularly separate myself from a dman or win a drag race to the puck. But when it came to tight turns, in-close movement, weaving through guys...I was average at best.They also said Lucius is “speedy” but I remember hearing skating was something he needed to improve?
I’m convinced no one is actually watching these prospects besides maybe a game here or there and watching their stats. Pretty much what I’m doing.

With a name like that, I expect him to be well on his way to becoming a full fledged Jedi Knight.
It would depend on who is doing the ranking, but if we go based off of Corey Pronman's 2023 rankings on The Athletic, the Pens were ranked at 29th. They would need at least two teams to drop below them, and none of the teams below them to overtake them, for the Pens to get out of the bottom 5. Looking over the Oilers and Maple Leafs, who were the two teams immediately above the Pens in that ranking, and the Islanders, Lightning and Bruins who were ranked lower, I'd say it's at least plausible the Pens rise out of the bottom 5.I don’t pay a ton of attention to other team’s prospects. Pretty much just the ones I see get drafted. Where do we rank? It looks maybe still bottom 10, but outside of the bottom 5?
Werent his rights traded away to Chicago anyways?Sorry everyone, Liam Gorman signed with someone else:
