Prospect Info: Pittsburgh Penguins Prospects Thread: 2023-2024 Edition

[Tasty Biscuits]

EP says Brunicke has consistency issues. Hopefully he can work on that this season.

I'd expect that from all young players, especially anyone who's not a high pick.

 

[Sidgeni Malkby]

I have high hopes for Rutger but man, imagine our prospect pool had we figured out how to keep Yager as well.

Wonder if we tried to send over a 1st rounder instead.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Ilyin seems to have picked up right where he left off least season. He has 5 assists in 8 games so far. Tankov has played in only 2 KHL games out of the teams 7. Not sure if hes injured or scratched.

I think Ilyn was scorelss in the first 3 or so games as well.

I believe he's been scratched. He's been on the fourth line getting 7 minutes.

That's alignment between Sullivan and his KHL coach.

"Tanky, you wanna get used to the NHL, here's the path you must get used to"

Pieniniemi on the 1st pairing apparently. 3 assists in his first 2 games.

Adding that according to their twitter he’s on the right side with Burns, himself a slightly earlier 3rd round pick from the same draft. Probably a strong pairing.

 

[chethejet]

Skill LW in Pens system with smaller players just doesn't leave much room for them. But no question the Finn and the young Rusky have skill. I also like Tankov size and potential. But with Broz, Rutger, Ponomarev, hard to see them making a dent for awhile.

Twitter is great for prospect clips, every team page posts every goal and you can just search Howe or Foster to see all the goals they were involved in. I’ll try to post clips as I feel like it but it’s easy to find if you want.

Instagram too. Just follow the teams.

1+3 in not quite 4 games. 15 SOG too, seems good.

Our 19th best prospect with the HT

And our 18th best prospect (Plante) scoring at a 2 pts/game pace in college! 1+1 in 1 game.
Maybe we need to redo the list!

 

[Malkinstheman]

Just looking at the Kamploops games so far, the D are getting absolutely wrecked. When Brunicke gets sent back hes going to be thrown all the responsibility.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Yeah they're not a good team. Ice time and opp are obviously great, but it's also not the most ideal situation to be in either.

 

[Gumbercules]

Didn't see it mentioned already. Howe got hurt last weekend and is out for a few weeks.

Regina Pats lose captain Tanner Howe for 'weeks' in second game back from NHL's Penguins

Regina Pats' captain Tanner Howe was hurt in just his second game back with the team after spending time at the Pittsburgh Penguins training camp this fall.

Lou is a savage putting Engvall On waivers. Wish Dubas had the balls to do the same with Graves since he's not one of our 6 best D

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Wrong thread.

Lou is like 83. He just doesn't gaf anymore.

 

[DearDiary]

I thought they would keep Aho as the #7D, didn't expect to see him waived

It seems like our OHL prospects are all on pretty solid teams, and Howe & Brunicke are on some pretty bad ones. Howe being an 05 will probably get dealt to a contender but Brunicke might have to stick it out.

Which is fine. 30 minutes on a bad team can have a unique impact on a d-man. He doesn’t seem like the type to sulk or learn bad habits.

Kamloops is 2-3-0. They will be a playoff team

a good player on a bad team is just asking for bad habits. the player will quickly start to try to do everyone else's job. hopefully he will get moved.

Suggestion - maybe a sticky to the first page or something. I compiled a list of some of the top prospects and where they play. To make it easy to follow a specific player. For example..

McGroarty, Blomqvist, Pono -- Pens. (atleast for now - Blom/Pono likely to Wilkes eventually).
Pickering, Koivunen, Murashov, Poulin, Broz -- Wilkes Barre
Harrison Brunicke -- WHL (Kamloops).
Tanner Howe -- WHL (Regina).
Emil Pieniniemi -- OHL (Kingston).
Cruz Lucius -- NCAA (Arizona St).
