Penguins Update: What Can We Reasonably Expect from the Kids?

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.
