No longer a Penguins prospect, but it looks like Troy Josephs had a successful season in Norway.
He gives a good OctoberAgreed. Though DiPauli is a true Penguin and will spend at least half the season injured.
Might be.Fox trade is going to be an interesting reference point of prospect value in the trade market imo.

"The prospect who is closest to NHL ready is probably Providence College winger Kasper Bjorkqvist.
Jan Drozg is easily the Pens’ top prospect and from what I saw of Bjorkqvist this year he’s nowhere near NHL ready.
I have to say I am disappointed with the lack of development out of Angello this season. He started strong and plateaued and then cratered...
Yeah ok look i'm a Drozg Lord fan but even if he went under the radar playing with a garbage team i don't think he's the pens top prospect, he has interesting upside tho & i'm not gonna be surprised if he crawls up to the Baby Pens top line in a year or two.Jan Drozg is easily the Pens’ top prospect and from what I saw of Bjorkqvist this year he’s nowhere near NHL ready.

I have to imagine there's a lot of weight put on a prospect's readiness, because I can't fathom anyone arguing that Björkqvist has the highest ceiling of that group. I can buy him being a contributor within a year of signing, though.
Pavlychev being higher than Hållander only makes sense if you're factoring in that Hållander is a likely spending next season in Sweden.

Totes!Can we at least agree he should be on that list over a couple others?
So every single Pens scout/brass/management member is wrong on Bjork. He also set the record of almost every fitness level testing including the NHL team

Bjorkqvist would be signed by now if he were their top prospect regardless of his injury...
Let’s cut to the chase here. What is your hockey resume? What knowledge do you carry of the sport that vaults your player assessment above that of the entire Penguins organization?
