RW Kasper Bjorkqvist (2016 2nd RD Pick) officially turned pro on Wednesday in agreeing to a two-year entry level contract. The 21 year old, widely regarded among evaluators as the Penguins No. 2 prospect, had 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 games at Providence this season. A strong 2-way player who emphasizes playing a 200-ft game, getting Bjorkqvist to turn pro was a top priority for the Penguins this month.
