Pittsburgh Penguins 25 and Under Roster

The Penguins are one of the best teams of the past decade with multiple Stanley Cup accolades. Currently, they have a chance to win another cup; but the question is how long is this success going to last? With both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin entering their mid 30's and on account of their week prospect pool, it does not look good for the future of this team. However, there are notable players that stand out in their depth chart whom can lead them to success if management makes the right moves.
