Penguins' AHL-contracted additions a mix of skill/size, youth/experience

One of the pleasant surprises in the Penguins' prospect system last season was the addition of forward Felix Robert.

Robert, 22, was signed to an AHL-level contract with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last summer. He began the in Wheeling, where he scored five goals and one assist in 10 games before the AHL season got underway. He was recalled to Wilkes-Barre when AHL training camps began, and earned his spot at that level for the rest of the season. He scored six goals and seven assists in 27 games with Wilkes-Barre and was versatile, slotting in at both center and wing over the course of the season.
