Since 2005, the Pittsburgh Penguins have become one of the most successful young teams in the league. They have gone to the Stanley Cup Finals in back-to-back years and came out with a title over the Detroit Red Wings in 2009. They have stockpiled their team with generational talents such as Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Marc-Andre Fleury.
But none of this means that the Penguins do not have any need to have a strong draft. There are still some holes in the Penguins’ prospect system that can be plugged, and the 2010 draft class will be a perfect place to continue building for the future.
Here are five things the Penguins should address in the draft, scheduled to take place this coming weekend in Los Angeles.
As a bonus, I will throw in some prospects that fit each description and may be available to the Pens.
