Underdrafted Standouts Steal the Show at Penguins 2026 Development Camp

Penguins’ 2026 development camp emphasized mid-rounders, free agents, and other faster-rising prospects over the usual top picks. The Ruck twins, Zam Plante, Brady Peddle, Charlie Tretheway and Ryan Miller drew noticeable attention in the 3v3 tournament, with Liam showing offensive urgency, Markus flashing playmaking instincts, Plante displaying creativity and finishing, Trethewey and Miller delivering speed and edge, and Peddle showcasing exceptional wheels. Coach Tom Kostopoulos praised overall skating and defensive detail gains across the group. With limited NHL contract slots, many standout performers may earn rookie camp invites; Will Horcoff was sidelined by shoulder surgery, and fellow first-rounder Bill Zonnon was given time to advance after Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s playoff run. The piece highlights under-the-radar talent that could shape the Penguins’ pipeline.

Prospects Prove Their Mettle, But Penguins Fall In OT

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s playoff run ended with a 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Marlies in the Eastern Conference Final, but the Penguins’ prospects showed significant development. Goalie Murashov posted a standout .931 save percentage in the series, while players like Rutger McGroarty (six-game playoff streak) and Tristan Broz (11 points in 15 games) asserted themselves as NHL-caliber talents. Ville Koivunen’s playoff arc was mixed, and Avery Hayes contributed but didn’t deliver enough offense in the final stretch. Defenseman Harrison Brunicke emerged as the top blueline prospect, delivering strong two-way play and leadership down the stretch. With several players likely departing Wilkes-Barre for leagues overseas or higher levels, the piece frames the run as a valuable growth experience and a source of optimism for next season.
