Who is on the Penguins out-of-town or out-of-league practice guest list?

[theicebox]

Since we've seen both Tyler Kennedy and now Brandon Saad attend the player-run practices, I thought it would be cool to pose the question: Who else is on their out-of-town or out-of-league invite list?

Nathan Mackinnon and Simon Despres. Both are close with a few members of the team.

Vince Trocheck and Stephen Johns were there today:

Kinda neat all the local guys came out today.
Unexpected surprise.

I really hope the new facility, coupled with the fact that we have Sidney Crosby, turns Pittsburgh into a mecca for offseason workouts.

Simon Despres.

Do you want to see the world burn, because that is how you get the world to burn.

Anyone else see a picture of Saad? It looked like he was wearing a Pens jersey, inside out.

The rest of his gear is still Blackhawks-colored.

Glad we got Kessel for that package instead of Saad.

Saad has said in the past how he looked up to Sid and Geno growing up, so that was probably a cool experience to get to train with Sid today.

Would've been an even cooler experience playing alongside them.

Tangradi is skating with them today.

Just saw that, too. Anyone know where Caputi is? Surovy? Somebody get Dick Tarnstrom on the phone, we could use a PP QB and he's my sleeper pick.

Now THAT seems random.

I think his wife is from here too, judging by her twitter

Tangradi.. you gotta be kidding me. I literally cannot believe what I am hearing. What about, ****in'.... Brian Holzinger out there. Remember him Brian Holzinger? Can you even imagine that? I'm currently locked in a port-a-john by my co-workers.

“You hear about the facility, but finally coming here and getting to see it, to get in the locker room and get out there on the ice, it's a top-notch facility,†said Saad, a two-time Stanley Cup champion who was traded from the Chicago Blackhawks to the Columbus Blue Jackets this summer. “It just shows how the organization is run.â€

“A lot of fans here already,†said Johns, who was traded from the Blackhawks to the Stars this summer. “You can see the excitement around this organization and the city about hockey.â€

Fifteen players — 13 skaters and two goalies — took part in the up-tempo workout, which ended with a three-on-three scrimmage. Saad, playing on a team with Sidney Crosby, netted the winner.

Skating with Crosby was different for Saad, who never had been on the same team as the Penguins captain. But it wasn't quite as strange as playing against him for the first time.

“It's good to meet him,†Saad said. “He's a great guy, and it's great to be out here training with him.â€

Saad, Trocheck and Johns are in town for a few more weeks and said they envision dropping in on the Penguins again.

Which isn't the worst thing in the world, Trocheck said.

“To be able to skate with these guys is a lot better than skating by yourself,†Trocheck said. “This is definitely helpful.â€

Crosby ran the bulk of the workout, which included drills to emphasize corner battles and odd-man rushes.

Wait till Saad wins a board battle over Scuderi, Lovejoy, and Perron to net a game winner. This board will blow up.

Go puck moving D.

Please no do not sign tk, I hope you are kidding. From what I see if the lineup is healthy we already have 13 forwards I would rather play than tk.
