Among the players currently scheduled to attend is forward Jake Guentzel, who led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in scoring during the 2016 postseason with 14 points (5G-9A). He was a third-round (77th overall) draft pick by Pittsburgh in 2013.
The roster will also include a pair of defensemen signed late in the 2015-16 regular season, Lukas Bengtsson and Ethan Prow. Bengtsson comes to the Penguins from the Swedish League, where he helped Frolunda win the championship this year. Prow was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award after leading all NCAA defensemen in assists and points as a senior at St.
