It’s July 21, 2021, and Ron Francis is studying his list of exposed players across the NHL. This time, though, there’s a catch— the only players available are ones who have skated in Pittsburgh. In a thought experiment inspired by @dameofscones on Twitter, we take a trip down memory lane and scout the list of ex-Penguins still active in the NHL to decide who would make the cut for the Seattle Penguins.
Just like the Kraken, the Seattle Penguins are required to select 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goaltenders. So, how does that draft go down?
