The NHL draft goes today for Rounds 2-7 and the Penguins get to add some young players to the organization. Here’s where the team enters the day with their choices:
- Round 2 (58th overall)
- Round 5 (154th overall)
- Round 7 (194th overall) [via Anaheim]
- Round 7 (215th overall) [via Washington]
- Round 7 (218th overall)
The second round pick is Pittsburgh’s marquee selection today, and is Ron Hextall’s first chance to add to the club through the draft. After taking goalies in rounds 2 and 3 last year, one would think for sure he would be going to add some skaters.
