The Penguins picked up Nolan Collins in the sixth round of this year’s NHL draft. That puts him as a long-shot prospect, but one worth the chance with his 6’3 frame, right shot and upside. Collins is a very raw and green prospect, like so many he had to deal with the COVID interruptions that more or less wiped out a season in 2020-21, making 2021-22 his first year in the OHL.
