CAMP AT A GLANCE
	Do the Penguins have enough talent around Jaromir Jagr?
	Coach: Ivan Hlinka '99-00 record: 37-37-8 Camp location: Southpointe Iceoplex (Canonsburg, Pa.) Report date: Sept. 7 Preseason schedule: Sept. 15: Columbus Sept. 16: New Jersey (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) Sept. 19: at Detroit Sept. 21: Colorado (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) Sept. 23: Colorado (Hershey, Pa.) Sept. 24: Detroit Sept. 27: at Columbus Sept. 29: Boston (Providence, R.I.)

The Penguins made history of sorts by elevating assistant coach Ivan Hlinka to the head coaching position back in June. Hlinka was brought on as an assistant to Herb Brooks last February under the assumption he would become the first European-born-and-bred coach to become boss behind an NHL bench. But the Blackhawks made Finnish-born Alpo Suhonen their head coach right after the season -- before Pittsburgh could promote Hlinka.

Hlinka enters his first NHL training camp as a head coach with the same personnel the club finished the season with -- with one big exception: goalie Ron Tugnutt is gone, having signed with expansion Columbus. The veteran stood on his head last spring and was the main reason the Pens made it as far as they did.

Here's a look at the rest of Pittsburgh's training camp.

Biggest question: duh ... goalie?
Can anyone play between the pipes around here? The Penguins enter camp without a proven No. 1 goalie for the first time since '88. Jean-Sebastien Aubin isn't under contract, and Peter Skudra is an unrestricted free agent. What does that leave the Penguins with? Sebastien Caron, Craig Hillier and Scott Myers. Come again? The oldest of the group is Hillier, at the ripe old age of 22. Count on the Penguins stepping it up a notch or two to get Aubin into camp quick. He appeared in 51 games last season, going 23-21-3 with a 2.58 GAA. But even if Pittsburgh does get Aubin signed, that still doesn't answer the question of who the back-up will be.

Biggest position battle: Center
The Penguins enter camp with six centers good enough to play in the NHL. Start with Robert Lang, who might center the club's first line with Jaromir Jagr as his right wing. There's a good chance Josef Beranek will center the No. 2 line. The picture gets real murky after that.

You would think Jan Hrdina has a lock on third line, but that's what camp is for. Look for Hrdina, Aleksey Morozov, Milan Kraft and Roman Simicek to make a hard push for the third and fourth line spots. While Hrdina and Morozov were on the team last season and are still young, Kraft could surprise some people.

Future watch
Here, ESPN.com looks at one or two young players who could make an impact, either now or in the future.

Milan Kraft (Center):
Kraft, a native Czech, is a pure goal scorer who racked up 40 goals in 68 games for Prince Albert of the WHL in '98-99, and followed that up with a 34-goal performance last season. Kraft, 20, has good range at 6-foot-3, 191 pounds but needs to fill out if he wants to make it in the NHL. The '98 first-round selection (23rd overall) has an excellent chance of making the team.

Konstantin Koltsov (Right wing):
Koltsov, the 18th selection overall in the '99 draft, has struggled offensively the last couple of seasons playing for Cherepovets of the Russian Elite League. Yet, he's considered a long-term project by the Penguins. He has average size (6-foot, 187 pounds) but has above-average puckhandling skills and is a fast skater.
