Prospect Info: Penguins #17 prospect

[Burgs]

Clayton Phillips becomes the fourth defenseman and seventh new entry in our rankings. We still haven't run out of prospects so I added 2016 4th round pick Ryan Jones, a sophomore at Nebraska-Omaha this season.

#1 Daniel Sprong (96.58%) (-)
#2 Tristan Jarry (65.65%) (+5)
#3 Zach Aston-Reese (80.19%) (new)

I'm gonna go with Connor Hall. The Pens are very high on him, and he'll have a chance to show what he can do with a healthy season. A 6'3 Dman who can really skate and is tough is a guy who could fit in well with our group.

 

[Zero Pucks]

Unless you have a crystal ball, it's hard to tell how/if most our defensive prospects will pan out. But they all seem to have a decent amount of upside. But I'll going with Taylor at this point.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

TdP.

 

[Giskard]

Voted Di Pauli since #9, keep the streak going!

 

[Zero Pucks]

What do people like about Di Pauli? He might be the last Penguins prospect I would vote for.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

ahem i was the first one to vote for di pauli so....


but now i'm all jan drozg baby

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Angello

 

[Shady Machine]

What do people like about Di Pauli? He might be the last Penguins prospect I would vote for.

Mostly his speed and some quotes that he models his game after Rust. He had injuries last year, so I think some assume with a healthy year he has some NHL potential as a bottom 6 speedy checker type.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'm very impressed by our depth of prospects.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Angello because, once again, he's 6'4 and size matters (right, ladies?).

 

[WayneSid9987]

DiPauli's speedy and fiesty like Rust.
Hopefully he stays healthy this season to see him progress.
