2023 World Junior Hockey Tournament Preview: No Penguins to be seen

The hockey world converges this time of year for one of the best and most competitive yearly international tournaments with the World Junior Championships taking place this year in Atlantic Canada with Moncton and Sidney Crosby’s home area of Halifax serving as the hosts this year.

Below, a complete and comprehensive bit of coverage for the Pittsburgh Penguins involved:

That blank space is the list, the Pens are one of two NHL teams (Toronto being the other) that have no prospects involved this year. Though they could potentially draft some of the younger draft eligible players involved, the past two drafts have seen very few high picks in Pittsburgh, and thus unsurprisingly they don’t have any of the best 18-19 year old players in the world right now.
