In round two with the 61st overall pick, the Pens went off the board a bit to select Phillip Samuelsson, son of former Penguin Ulf. Samuelsson is a defensive defenseman from the Chicago Steel of the USHL.
In round three, they selected Ben Hanowski with the 63rd overall pick. Hanowski, of Minnesota, was the most prolific high school scorer in the history of the State of Hockey. Personally, this was my favorite pick of the day.
In round four, they selected right wing Nick Peterson of the Shawinigan Cataractes of the QMJHL.
The Pens traded goalie Chad Johnson to the Rangers for pick 151. They used that on Andy Bathgate of Belleville of the OHL.
In round five, they took the son of former NHLer Randy Velischek, Alex, a defensive defenseman from New Jersey on his way to Providence to play college hockey next season.
In round six, they nabbed another defenseman, Viktor Ebom. No information on him from me.
In the seventh round, the Pens held the "Mr. Irrelevant" pick. However, they traded it to the Montreal Canadiens for a return that hasn't yet been specified. It sounds like nothing.

Sounds like some solid picks. Wow and I just learned that Bouwmeester was traded to Calgary. Guess it was bound to happen eventually.
