Penguins Draft Preview - 2017

[Brent Burns Beard]

I really didnt have a lot of time to study the draft, although i did get to review a few of the well regarded publications.

Having not seen a single one of these players play, I still like to dream they are the next generation of #studs to join my organization.

Clearly they are all NBT but dont take my comparison like I believe every single guy will reach that. Simply what I gathered from the research as a player style.

Enjoy and if you have seen any of these guys or tracked them, I am interested in your analysis of their play.
