Preferred Outcome for the Pens Pick

[Hodge]

Sadly no Stützle revenge, but seeing that Penguins pick at 17 on Tankathon had me considering going postal.

I'll happily take #13 after that Penguins demonic run to close out the season. That's sneaking right in at the backend of that second/third massive clump of players in this class.

The real Stützle revenge is that Lucas Raymond is clearly a better player. Sucks to suck, Ottawa.

 

[cheechoo]

Stutzle revenge can still happen with the Vegas pick OR if Pens win the lotto and get the 3rd or 4th pick and then completely breakdown next year and we get their top 3 pick.

But both scenarios are unlikely -- I will ABSOLUTELY take 1-3/13-14 pick this year. We're going to get two huge pieces. I'm psyched.

Yep yep. Good day today all in all. And we can breathe again (until the draft lottery /// Rick Celebrini's public exorcism).

So most likely:

1st round: pick 1-3 (SJ)
1st round: pick 13 or 14 (PIT)
2nd round: pick 33 (SJ)
2nd round: pick 41 or 42 (NJ)

Not bad.

Only team with 2 picks in the top 15, that's just awesome.

So most likely:

1st round: pick 1-3 (SJ)
1st round: pick 13 or 14 (PIT)
2nd round: pick 33 (SJ)
2nd round: pick 41 or 42 (NJ)

Not bad.

I sorta hope we can package a player + one of the 2nd round picks for another top 15 1st rounder (like Ferraro and a 2nd).

Would have to be ours most likely

 

[mogambomoroo]

Pit pick, NJ 2nd and something for trade up is the best case scenario, I think you do it if one of the more hyped defencemen starts dropping.

If we can get Celebrini and one of the top 3 defensemen by moving up a little from the pens pick i would do pens 1st, our 2nd, nj 2nd to do it.

The Wings are so, so bad.

Deja Vu?!?!!? Wasn't this your literal post yesterday?!

She’s a witch, obviously.

 

[tiburon12]

Kinda wild that almost everything has worked out in our favor these past few days. Has that ever happened before for the Sharks?

Yes. My very specific superpower is reverse-jinxing the Red Wings.

 

[Boy Hedican]

Looking really good! Very low probability Pens win this lotto.

Looking to next season…I’m hoping the Knights are on a downward trend.

Reverse jinx is finally paying off. But it ain’t over so….

In before NHL trades away our picks.

I feel like we’ve had so much bad luck, there’s a karmic rebalancing happening.

Oh I just mean everything that’s already happened. The already hatched chickens. The rebalance might be done and now it’s all downhill.

 

[Shark Finn]

What an effort by the Red Wings, all for nothing. I sure wish they would have made the playoffs with those two games against the Habs. Oh well. Thankfully they still won and are now keeping Pittsburgh behind them. Now, a Wild win and a Pens loss.. pretty please?

I will literally get a Sharks tattoo if they can trade Ferraro + anything for a 1st. (the + can't be a 1st though lol)

March was their undoing. Three wins in 14 games. They did take some positive steps forward this year but really ran out of steam, especially defensively and in goal. The difficulty they had beating a slumping, second-to-last (in the East) Canadiens team these past two days, especially Monday at home, really speaks to their deficiencies.

And yet...how nice would it be to be in that position a few years from now if you're the Sharks?

I dream of the day the Sharks once again play meaningful games where I’m cheering for them to win not lose.

Sharks rebuild seems way smarter than Wings.

IMO feels like the Sharks have a surprise Minnesota Wild type playoff surprise within 3 years IMO.

 

[Juxtaposer]

It actually looks like all Minnesota needs to do to pass the Pens pick is get one more point than the Pens in their last respective games. I think the Wild own the tie-breaker with the Pens (both have 32 RW, 36 ROW, Minnesota has one more total win).

You have to imagine the Pens are going to be completely out of this game, emotionally.

One could say blowing a 4-goal-lead to the Sharks and giving up 2 SHG on the same PP ultimately cost them their playoff-spot. OUCH!
