Now that kid forwards Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty, arguably the crème of our prospect crop, have joined the Penguins, what can we reasonably expect from them?
Will they make a splash during these final eight games? Or will the results be more sobering?
Personally, I think we’ll need to temper our expectations.
As well as Koivunen and McGroarty have played down on the farm, there’s a huge gap between the NHL and the AHL.
Just ask present Pen Emil Bemström.
One level down, the Swedish sniper with the heavy shot is a scoring ace.
