When Zam Plante, the Penguins' fifth-round draft choice on Friday, told our Taylor Haase that he likes to model his game after Jake Guentzel, it was anything but fan service.
Plante's game has several striking similarities to Guentzel which we'll touch on in a moment, but their similarities aren't limited to the ice.
Both of them grew up as rink rats in Minnesota and played high school hockey there.
Both of them are children to hockey coaches.
Both of them have a particular innocence within their personalities (which was never more apparent than when Guentzel facetimed Plante after he was drafted).
