Uncover the Shocking Draft Blunders and Hidden Gems Unveiled for Every NHL Team This Decade
Pittsburgh Penguins
Best: Harrison Brunicke
He hasn’t made his NHL debut yet, but the Penguins saw enough from the 44th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft to believe that Brunicke is going to become a highly impactful defenseman sooner rather than later. They love him.
Worst: Sam Poulin
Poulin was selected 21st overall in the 2019 NHL Draft but has never made a dent at the NHL level. Given how infrequently the Penguins kept their first-round selections during that era, the selection is even more glaring. While he has some attributes of a good player at the NHL level and has been a solid AHL contributor, Poulin’s skating has long been a problem. — Josh Yohe
