Penguins defensive prospect Emil Pieniniemi is ready for his next step

Penguins defensive prospect Daniel Laatsch is more than a big body 
Daniel Laatsch is Wisconsin nice. Pardon … Wis-kahn-sin. Does he prefer Daniel or Dan? Danny, even? “Whatever you prefer,” he replies diplomatically. And if you happen to extend your hand to shake his after a hockey practice, he’ll politely decline, explaining his hands are sweaty having been in gloves for...
Even at 6-foot-6, Penguins defensive prospect Peyton Kettles is still growing 
Given that he shot up from 5-foot-5 in eighth grade to his current height of 6-6 as a freshly drafted defensive prospect for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Peyton Kettles had plenty of clothing to pass on to his younger brother Chase once he outgrew it. But not hockey gear. And there’s...

Penguins goaltending prospect Gabriel D'Aigle learned to have fun from Marc-Andre Fleury 
Gabriel D’Aigle and Marc-Andre Fleury won’t be confused for one another. D’Aigle is a stout 6-foot-4 and 211 pounds as a goaltender, and Fleury was listed at a sinewy 6-foot-2 and 181 pounds. Polite but shy, D’Aigle is something of a wallflower compared to the giddy and effervescent Fleury. And...
