Owen Pickering, the Penguins’ first-round pick from the 2022 NHL Draft, has been a mainstay at the top of the Penguins’ prospect list from the moment he entered the organization. It is a combination of him being a strong prospect with NHL upside, and also him being one of the few recent first-round picks the organization has actually made and kept. He checks in at No. 3 for the third year in a row.
