After a few months of horse trading, the Pittsburgh Penguins Training Camp 2015 opens this week. With physicals tomorrow and sophomore Head Coach Mike Johnston’s first practice of the season scheduled Friday, the Penguins enter camp with loads of forward talent and yet unmade decisions. Unlike most teams, the Penguins issue up front will not be if Johnston possesses someone to fill a role, but how many choices.
All-Star acquisition Phil Kessel will garner most headlines, locally and internationally. Russian free agent Sergei Plotkinov will garner attention from coaches anxious to provide Evgeni Malkin with a Russian playmate, and fans will debate the third center battle between Eric Fehr and Nick Bonino.
