ANALYSIS
Kindel was just selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft at the end of June and already has his ELC in hand. The 18-year-old center racked up an impressive 99 points, including 35 goals, in 65 regular-season appearances for WHL Calgary last year before adding another 15 points in 11 postseason outings. Now that he's signed, it's possible that Kindel will be given a nine-game stint with the Penguins to start the 2025-26 campaign before he is shipped back to juniors for the rest of the year.
