The Penguins find themselves picking 14th at the draft this season, their highest pick in over a decade. 14th is something of an uncomfortable place to be: the elite players of the class will get picked through, but the selection is high enough to still get a young player with a very promising future.
What makes it even more unpredictable is that around this point of the draft, rankings and opinions of players can very greatly. What may be the 13th best prospect on one observer’s board (as Andrew Cristall is for The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler) could be No.
