The Penguins showcase a lot of big names that play flashy games.

If there were one example to show younger players to "stick with it and trust the process," it's Ryan Shea.
BC High. Then the USHL. Then four years at Northeastern. A lot of AHL development. Didn't make his NHL debut until he was 26, and now having a great year for Pittsburgh.
Ryan Shea started his career in Dallas before breaking through in Pittsburgh. "I think patience is the No. 1 thing in this game. Everyone has their own paths. There's no right or wrong one. I can tell you it was a grind, but worth every second."

“If they get goaltending Pittsburgh can be a playoff team if these guys play the way they play.”
He may not be with the Leafs anymore, but @BizNasty2point0 is still a proud Duby and believes in Kyle Dubas.
That's four assists for Ryan Shea in his first five games.
"I put in a lot of work in the offseason, skated earlier than I usually did... I think I'm just more mature in my game, and just the confidence - I think that is the number one thing in this league."
