With the Penguins needing help between the pipes, it is understandable that they have decided to select D'Aigle. The 18-year-old is viewed as having solid upside, and he will now look to grow his game after being selected by the Penguins from here.
D'Aigle spent this season in the QMJHL with the Victoriaville Tigres, where he posted a 16-33-2 record, a .883 save percentage, and a 4.52 goals-against average in 55 games. Overall, it was a bit of a tough year for the 6-foot-4 goaltender, but there is reason to believe that he can trend in the right direction with his development.
D'Aigle also has a connection to Marc-Andre Fleury, as he is from the same hometown as the Penguins legendary goaltender.
