It's the skillful minded biscuit scorer's turn. Zoblin here.

Samuelsson, Zlobin, Guentzel, end polls at 12 to stop the sadness.

Samuelsson. He's already proven he can play at the NHL level.

Add Ruopp. Surprised he hasn't been listed yet.

I feel confident that Zlobin will pull a Megna this year and drastically increase his point totals. He had a very impressive playoffs, and has been a clutch player at every level he's played at. He missed a lot of the offseason (and regular season) last year, and the team is being injected with a lot more young (more) talented wingers than they've had up until now, so I'm hopeful that he'll come back very strong this year and carry some of his almost PPG playoff production over to this season. I think he gets a few games (like Megna) next year.

Yeah, he's definitely going to see a prominent role with the baby Pens right away. Top two lines.

Guentzel. Very impressive what he did in his freshman season, and I would say appeared to be the most shifty and skilled player after Kapanen in the prospects game. I had him in my top 10, and I think he belongs here. I can't argue with Sammy or Wilson, but Guentzel has higher upside.

And I'm cool with adding SegUlla

Guentzel. He is small, but his offensive abilities are very impressive.

I vote to add Angello. Definitely a long-term prospect, but he is big kid who is unafraid to use his size, and he has shown flashes of offensive skill.

Zlobin. Hopefully he can build off a very good playoff, become a top-line AHL player. Looking at some of the players from last year that got more than a handful of games (Gibbons, Sill, Conner, Megna, Zolnierczyk) that got call-ups, no reason why Zlobin couldn't be towards the top of the line next year.

The mythical young, homegrown skill winger.....

Zlobin

Samuelsson might make it as a career bottom pairing guy. Zlobin has an outside shot at being a solid top 6 winger.
