Penguins consolidate roster to two camp teams

It’s not unheard of for players to continue to switch teams or be moved from one group to another, but these breakouts are interesting.

Perhaps most notably, youngsters Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Radim Zohorna — who have both played with mostly NHL talent and big roles in the first week of training camp are on the group made up of almost exclusively future AHL players.
