The Pittsburgh Penguins have significant forward depth heading into the season, with 26-year-old Filip Hallander, a second-round pick in 2018, poised for a potential breakout after a challenging year marked by a blood clot.

With one year left on his contract, Hallander’s performance could determine his future in Pittsburgh, potentially serving as a trade asset or depth option.
