Well we can still get the 2nd overall pick from the pens this year, but only if the pens management has a brain fart and gives it up anyways.The lotto results happen before we get the pick. Unfortunately, we cannot get 1st and 2nd in 2024 with the Pens pick. However, if it rolls into 2025, that's a possibility.
Anyone who's rooting for the sharks to win next year is in for a massive disappointmentIf we do move it to 2025, that means we can root for the Sharks to start winning while still rooting for another team to tank.

Continuing to root for failure because it’s easier is like choosing to remain single because you’re convinced the next one will break your heart.Anyone who's rooting for the sharks to win next year is in for a massive disappointment

Alternatively, we can root for two top-5 picks, which would hopefully be the end of our tankathon giving us a core of Eklund, Smith, (fingers crossed) Macklin Celebrini, and the two 2025 top-3 picks (and a supporting cast of Musty, Mukh, Bystedt, Edstrom). Then they part ways with Quinn after the 2024-2025, hire their coach of the future, bring in a bunch of the kids, and we can start rooting for wins in 2025-2026. At least that's my outlook on things hahaIf we do move it to 2025, that means we can root for the Sharks to start winning while still rooting for another team to tank.
Add a year and I'm with you. I'm hoping we're in the position Detroit, Buffalo, Anaheim, or Vancouver 3-4 years ago are in... We have potential but we keep being not great. Every year our young guns get older, and then all of a sudden we're a bubble playoff team.Alternatively, we can root for two top-5 picks, which would hopefully be the end of our tankathon giving us a core of Eklund, Smith, (fingers crossed) Macklin Celebrini, and the two 2025 top-3 picks (and a supporting cast of Musty, Mukh, Bystedt, Edstrom).

You do you, homie. The idea of watching two teams try to lose as much as possible is certainly a way to spend the season.Alternatively, we can root for two top-5 picks, which would hopefully be the end of our tankathon giving us a core of Eklund, Smith, (fingers crossed) Macklin Celebrini, and the two 2025 top-3 picks (and a supporting cast of Musty, Mukh, Bystedt, Edstrom).

Being cheated on isn’t though.Except being single or not is (somewhat) entirely within our control
I think there's a sense of detachment and maybe even fun rooting for the absurdness of the Sharks being this bad, I don't personally treat it as self-flagellating in any serious wayYou do you, homie.

Short term pain for hopefully long-term gain (8-10 years of cup contention)...at least that's what I'm hoping for lolYou do you, homie. The idea of watching two teams try to lose as much as possible is certainly a way to spend the season.
Many here said DeBoer was the problem. Many said just let Karlsson play how he wants and he will lead us to a great season. Neither were true. The Pens have an aging core and no depth. One key injury and they could be bottom 5 in the league. I’m fine getting the unprotected 2025 1st.The pens are going to can Sullivan and go on a tear because he is absolute shit.
The good news (for an unprotected pick) is it sounds like Dubas is very committed to Sully. "If we lost Sully we'd immediately be looking for a Sully."The pens are going to can Sullivan and go on a tear because he is absolute shit.
