the ol' take-me-to-the-locker-room-so-our-D-can-get-a-breather trick

works every time

 

[The Nemesis]

Lol, first he doesn't get traded, now he doesn't get a goal. Darkest personal timeline for Barabanov.

 

[EXTRAS]

Kostin good grab so far

 

[Powinkle]

Zetterlund always looks like he just finished a bag skate and is about to die.

 

[Timo Time]

Klim Kostin?

Klim Kostin us our draft position

 

[cheechoo]

Kostin good grab so far

Kostin us Celebrini...

 

[fasterthanlight]

How are we so good at ice hockey. we have no good players and yet teams full of superstars choke against us lol

 

[Jts4thgoal]

Just when we thought Granlund was going to do us a solid and miss the rest of the season he comes back sets up the game tying goal.

 

[mogambomoroo]

We need to lose this one, need to push Pittsburgh up

 

[LadyStanley]

In response to Randy's suggestion of changing nickname from granny

 

[bluefunnel]

I went to make dinner during the intermission and completely forgot about the second period.

 

[Jargon]

I like Kostin.

Also, I’m actively cheering for the Penguins — i want the Sharks to lose and I want them to get to 11th place.

 

[Timo Time]

Kunin is going to tie this up

 

[Tw1ster]

Perfect, now bench Granny, Vlasic, and Kostin

 

[Jargon]

Is this one of our games in hand on Chicago?

 

[bluefunnel]

Is this one of our games in hand on Chicago?

You can either consider this one or Saturday's game the game in hand since they play tomorrow but not Saturday and their next game(after tomorrow) is against us.

If that didn't make sense then: Yes.

It makes some kind of sense somehow

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

Once the flashes of adequacy are gone, the real team shows up. Tank it is!

 

[Jargon]

All is going according to plan

I still don't understand the Pittsburgh conditional draft pick part of this trade. If they are 11 and worse, the pick is this year and if they are 10 and better, it can be waived to next year? I think the important thing is to keep the pace to get last, especially since Chicago finally won a game the other night. Sunday's game is going to be something else.

I'm not sure what's not to understand?

 

[Tw1ster]

I can’t wait to cheer for the Sharks again

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?

 

[coooldude]

It's top 10 protected. They get to decide AFTER the lottery.

If PIT finishes 11 or 12 and wins the lottery and gets pick 1 or 2, they can choose to keep it, or choose to give it to us and we get their 2025 unprotected.

If they finish bottom 10, same deal except they get to choose no matter what, after the lottery.

In the scenario where they win 1 or 2OA, they almost certainly keep the pick, "retool" in the offseason, maybe even resign Guentzel, and likely do not finish quite so badly next year. Maybe it'll be a 10-20 pick.

If they finish 9 or 10, I guess it depends on whether they think they can flip the player for a "win now" asset, because they can't trade the pick if they keep it.
