## Resource

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are lighting up the playoffs for the first time in over a decade, showcasing Pittsburgh’s bold pivot from win-now to long-term building. GM Kyle Dubas is masterfully blending veterans with a league-leading 12 rookies, easing newcomers into NHL roles around stars like Crosby. Some, like Ben Kindel, are thriving; others, like Arturs Silovs, are still finding their footing. For 2022 draft picks Rutger McGroarty and Owen Pickering, 2026-27 is make-or-break — their fifth season since being drafted. Dubas may trade some prospects for proven talent, but the WBS success signals a deeper question: is it time to fully unleash this hungry, battle-tested crop? With veterans nearing the end of their careers, the Penguins face a pivotal choice — keep the old guard or accelerate the youth movement they’ve spent years cultivating.
