Penguins consider Ville Koivunen for top-six role ahead of draft

The Pittsburgh Penguins are evaluating options for their forward group as the NHL Draft approaches on June 23. Analyst Mark Madden suggests giving Ville Koivunen a chance in the top six after Pittsburgh trades for him in a deal involving Jake Guentzel. Koivunen, a second-round pick in the 2021 draft, had modest production last season with two goals and five assists in 39 games. Madden emphasizes the importance of assessing Koivunen's potential impact before deciding whether to make further roster changes.
