However, Other Rick recently brought a feel-good story involving a former Pens prospect to my attention, so I thought I’d shine a spotlight.
First, a little back story.
When then-Pens-GM Jim Rutherford traded up to snag peppery right wing Nathan Légaré 74th overall in the 2019 draft, I was both intrigued and thrilled. Not only did the kid display a huge scoring touch in junior, he flashed his hair-trigger release and bomb of a shot early in his black-and-gold career by famously scoring a pair of goals within 23 seconds during an exhibition game against the CBJ.
