I know in this age of immediate gratification, Pittsburgh’s pick this year ( the 25th) is attractive. It is my understanding that if the Penguins lose in the play in round, then that pick becomes next years 1st. Doesn’t it make more sense to hope they lose and get next years pick in hopes that it is better than 25th, and if significant injuries occur (Crosby/Malkin) quite a bit better than 25th? The worst that could happen is that they win it all and we end up with the 31st pick. I don’t see a very big difference between 25th and 31st in most drafts. For me it’s a no-brainer, waiting for next years pick. Opinions?
