Penguins Mock Draft Points to a Blue-Line Swing

A new mock draft has Pittsburgh taking a defender, which is the kind of pick that says the organization is still trying to patch the back end the smart way. The Penguins have spent enough time around the league to know that you can never have too many capable defensemen, especially when the pipeline starts to matter more than the highlight reel. This projection will not settle anything, but it does hint at where the front office may be leaning when draft night gets real.
