The Pittsburgh Penguins have selected forward Kale Dach with the 201st overall pick of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.

Dach spent this season with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the BCHL and put together a strong season. In 54 games, the 5-foot-11 forward posted 22 goals, 65 assists, and 87 points. With numbers like these, there is no question that he has offensive skill.

Dach is expected to play with the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL next season and will then play for Penn State after that. Thus, the Penguins will be able to keep a close eye on him once he plays at the collegiate level.

Overall, there is no harm in the Penguins taking a shot on Dach with their seventh-round pick. The young forward will certainly be a long-term project for the Penguins, but he has shown promise. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact he makes for the Penguins later down the road from here.
