GDT: Game 65: Sharks @ Penguins 4:00pm NBCSCA

[Anomie2029]

Did I have it right? It's top 10 protected? So we're rooting for Pittsburgh to lose out right and then get the pick next year?

You have it right. It's a top 10 protected 2024 1st round draft pick. If it's top 10, the pick will become an unprotected 2025 1st round pick. I believe the Pens have the option to waive that if they want (not sure on that fact).

If you think the Pens are going to bottom out next season, you want the pick to go to 2025.

Either way, the Sharks have an opportunity to grab a good asset with the pick this year or next.

Last place baby!

At this point, just hope it's pick 11-12, take it, and run. It seems like there's a good chance that Pittsburgh rebounds next season as there is just too much talent on that roster.

Desired result

Maybe moving Labanc to D is the key to unlocking his potential

Labanc to D Vlasic to the wing I like it!

This is what I've been telling myself, but damn, they don't look good and a lot of these older players have actually been pretty fortunate with good health. If they get some injuries next year, the same kind of defeatist mentality might creep in again and it could go badly.

You know it's bad when some nonamer throw in from a trade from Calgary comes in and scores a goal and an assist on this trashheap of a franchise.
