When should the Devils forfeit their 1st round pick?

[GarfSnowed]

I know they have a three year window, but the next two drafts are pretty deep.
I say they forfeit in '13 if they know they will be better....
and if they do this year how will this affect the mock drafts around the world

I think it will all depend on finish in a season.

Team finishes top 10 (in points, this gets them a bottom 20 pick) then they will forfeit it no matter what draft.

They wont forfeit it this year

Even if they win the cup next year, i doubt they forfeit. its supposed to be 2003 in depth, which no matter where you pick, should be good.

Id say 2013 they forfeit

I think they should forfeit their first-round pick every year... but as someone who has been a fan of the St. Louis Blues since their creation, and who spent his teenage years in Denver rooting for the Colorado Rockies, I may be a little biased.

What if they trade all their first round picks away in the next three years? Or will they not be allowed to do so?

No GM (even Lou) will ever give up a 1st rounder if they can give it up the following year instead. And if they can give it up 2-3 years down the line, you can bet that's exactly what they'd do. Because there's no guarantee they'll even still be the GM 2 years from now.
