Penguins Eye Hurlbert at 22

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential selection of J.P. Hurlbert by the Penguins in the 2026 NHL Draft.

The Penguins’ 22nd pick in the 2026 NHL Draft could be J.P. Hurlbert—a dynamic WHL forward who exploded for 97 points in 68 games with Kamloops, showed playoff grit, and brings elite shot, vision, and physicality. He impressed at the NHL Combine, praised Pittsburgh’s “tough love” approach, and will play at Michigan next season. With room to grow defensively and skater-wise, his offensive upside makes him a compelling target for Pittsburgh’s draft strategy.
