Prospect Profile: Beau Bennett
NHLHS writer Erika Zimmerman profiles the Pittsburgh Penguins first round draft selection from the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Beau Bennett.
Building on his recent tendency to draft quality American’s high in the draft (Ben Hanowski (2009, 2nd round, 63 overall), Alex Goligoski (2004, 2nd round, 61 overall) both Americans), Ray Shero’s first round draft pick was California native Beau Bennett.

Atlantic Division Draft Review
NHLHS Corrospondent Mike Murangi, who covered the draft for NHLHS, breaks down the Atlantic Division in his draft review.
Atlantic Division Draft Review:
Coming to Los Angeles, two Atlantic Division teams did not have first round picks. The New Jersey Devils sent their pick to the Atlanta Thrashers in the Ilya Kovlchuk deal, and the Flyers traded their pick to the Anaheim Ducks in the Chris Pronger deal.
One trade worked; one did not.
In this article, I will review the first-round pick or top pick for each of all five Atlantic Division teams, and late-round picks that may be gems. I will release each of the other five divisions over the next few days. I would love to hear feedback about what you think, or if you have a question about your favorite team please email me at MMurangi@nhlhotstove.com .

The Pittsburgh Penguins have had one of the more active and productive off-seasons of the Eastern Conference contenders.

Eight(h) is Enough
Congratulations to the second biggest underdog to enter the 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs for, what has been thus far, the most amazing Cinderella run since 1993.
For the Montreal Canadiens, the number eight seed was simply enough. Enough to ignite a spark under a team compiled of averaged sized players surrounded in turmoil from every angle except financially.
And to think, luck was on their side in order to squeak into the playoff picture.

One Team’s Mistakes Are Another’s Victory – Pens Drop Game 4 to Even Series
Prior to tonight’s game, one name, Jordan Staal, was on the lips of everyone in Pittsburgh. In Montreal, many questions about the Canadiens’ future were on the mind of Habs fans. After the game, the tables were turned, and one name, Jaroslav Halak, would once again ring throughout the entire providence of Quebec, while Penguins fans were left with an abundance of questions about their team’s own welfare.
If you ask a dozen Penguins fans why Pittsburgh lost last night’s game, you’re likely to get a dozen different answers. Sometimes hockey ends up this way. The simple answer is that the Pittsburgh Penguins allowed Montreal to hang around for a long period of time. The long answer, however, requires a much more grandiose explanation.
