We are now just 1-month away from this years sneak-peak of the Penguin’s future, the Prospects’ Challenge in Buffalo. During last years Prospects’ Challenge Jordy Bellerive, Sam Militec, and Alex D’Orio impressed the coaching staff enough to earn themselves contracts. Bellerive and Militec built on their Prospects’ Challenge performance with very, very strong junior years, both scoring over 90 points. D’Orio struggled back-stopping a team of new, young kids. Most of his team from the previous year had grew up and moved on.
I had the opportunity to watch the majority of the Penguins Prospects’ games, so I saw why the Penguins offered those players contracts.
