Pittsburgh boosts their depth with defensemen by drafting four of them in the latter rounds of the 2016 NHL draft
After drafting a goaltender and a forward with their first two picks, the Pittsburgh Penguins finally turned to their defense. We talked about 3rd round pick Connor Hall (the player selected in the deal that sent Beau Bennett to New Jersey), now here's the rest of the draft.
Ryan played in the USHL, he’s been through the draft a couple of times, little bit of a late bloomer, 6-foot-3, he’s extremely mobile like Hall and plays with a real edge.
