The updates and statuses on the futures of Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang were the biggest items at yesterday’s season-ending press conference by Ron Hextall, but there were also a host of other nuggets and thoughts that could shed light on where the Penguins will go from here.
Let’s break some down, from the penguins.com recap of the interview:
- Hextall named Valtteri Puustinen, Kasper Bjorkqvist, Filip Hallander, P.O Joseph and Sam Poulin, “who took his game to another level over the past 55 games,” as prospects out of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton who could potentially start next season in Pittsburgh.
