The conditional picks?

Pretty low
Best chance is that karlsson signs with an eastern team as a ufa IMO

So the condition to get an additional 1st is for Karlsson to re-sign AND the Sharks make the finals?

That's how I understand it. It's the 2nd rounder getting upgraded I think.

I think the ship already sailed for that conditional pick, no?

Ya it did, unless they trade his rights but no way they do that and risk losing a 1st lol

I'd say CBJ take a serious swing at Duchene. They've got a great core of players, and Dubinski and Foligno are their only players over the age of 30 (plus they just added McQuaid who is 32 and a UFA). So even when they lose Panarin and Bob, they've got a pretty decent line up if they keep Duchene. That and they have just short of 30 million in cap space for next season.
They also have almost no draft picks for the next 2 years so they'd be motivated to win now.
SJ is more uncertain IMO. Half of the team's contracts are up at the end of the season so its harder to predict what they'd do. EK65 fits really nice in that line-up and the team looks scary, I'm sure they'll try to get something done there

Yes, basically. As soon as he signs there, we get the 2021 2nd. And if they get to the final, then that 2nd gets upgraded to the 1st. So we definitely get FLA 2nd this year, and SJ next year as they've virtually clinched the playoffs. Then an additional 2nd if EK signs (this is the conditional one). It seemed really bad at first, but I actually think it was a good trade considering he wasn't staying. Balcers and Norris look like players, and Tierney and Demelo are already good role players, who could easily fetch 2nd+prospects each at the deadline next year, on great deals too. Should have been a better prospect in there for EK, but the return doesn't look too bad for us right now.

I think the Duchene conditional pick is the most likely to happen. I think Columbus re-signs Dzingel (he's an adopted Buckeye for that fanbade due to him having played for Ohio State), and then Duchene will be happy enough having his linemate there and a good blueline behind him to stay there.
I think Karlsson is going to the UFA market.

Huh? He wasn't staying because of a situation the team manufactured. It's a bad trade because it never should have come to that.
So what if CLB misses the playoff drafts top3 and resigns Duchene???Do we get 2020 and their 2021 1st,s??
The 2020 draft will make or break this team going forward
It'll definitely be an important one. But I think we have a few years of high picks.
Ideally Karlsson and Duchene sign with their current teams and somehow they both have bad seasons next year and those picks are higher quality.
Anyway, at the moment Ottawa is in decent shape going into 2020 draft wise. Also, we have a slew of 2nds that can be upgraded to 1sts or moved for players from teams in cap trouble.
We need to draft high end pieces ,not just look for sure fire nhlers whos upside is that of 3rd line two way grinders
Pretty slim. I don't think Sharks could resign Karlsson. Nor do I think it would be smart considering their big contracts they currently have.
I think Columbus is about to plummet, according to rumors. So I don't see Duchene resigning there. Plus, I expect a quick first round (4-5 games) elimination.

I don't have to look past our luck and realize that there is no way we are getting any conditional picks. Anyone who thinks we will is a very optimistic person, to say the least

I think Karlsson tests UFA, but I say the Sharks very likely will sign him. If they were willing to throw out that massive contract to Tavares I don't see why they wouldn't for Karlsson and he's already laid down some roots there.
