Who are the Penguins’ scouts?

The Penguins' amateur and European scouts have been hard at work for over a year now preparing for this summer's NHL draft, held June 21 and 22 in Vancouver.

Who are the Penguins' scouts, and what are their backgrounds? Let's take a look:

PATRIK ALLVIN
Director of amateur scouting

Allvin is in his 13th year with the Penguins, and in his second year as the Penguins' director of amateur scouting.

Allvin, 44, first began working in scouting with the Canadiens in 2002-03 as a European scout, a role he held for four seasons. He joined the Penguins in the same capacity in 2006-07, and was promoted to the director of European scouting in 2012-13.
