back to this years draft..... it seems there is a big drop off after picks 5-6 it's still early but.....not having that 2nd may not be that big of a deal

That’s kind of the feeling I’m getting. Not a lot of talk about guys outside the first several picks.

We will see more of these kids in the near future and at the WJC.
If I had to pick now, I'd go Martone

I never saw the need to make that deal other than another murrican. I liked Yager and it's funny to see the support he's getting because a lot seemed to sour on him before the trade and then suddenly he's now a player those same that soured on him, wish they never dealt.
Based on usage, it didn't seem like Sullivan knew how to use McCann at all and just threw him on Sid's line whenever he felt like it could work again. It threw Jared's game off after. The Pens could have signed him to the 5m/yr deal and he would have never been what he is on Seattle and we'd hear bitching about how Hextall killed us with his cap.So many people here died on the hill of protecting Carter it was crazy.
That's how it would have gone down.

2026 is the year to tank. Watched a lot of extended McKenna highlights. Reminds me of Kucherov.

Oh don't you worry, with this coach and the help Dubas is providing the stars, the Pens will have several bottom-5 finishes

I feel like Dubas is going to try and be somewhat competitive next year sadly.
normally they are my go-to pick because they tend to fall lower than where they are rated to go. but this year I'm hoping we are picking above where they are slated.
Yeah but only one team will get him. I’m still trying to learn this years draft class. Not sure what the top 5 looks like in 2026.

As I said, top 5 pick this year and tanking for McKenna next year would set us up well.
Martone, Misa, McQueen, Fondell...any of them would help make a great future top line of McGroarty-McKenna-Martone/etc.

I think it's gonna be tough to finish to any lower than like 5th imo. As stupid as Sullivan is, theres alot of awful teams this year

We are legitimately so bad defensively.
If Dubas starts selling off pieces the offense could easily capsize too.

Keep on losing, fire Sullivan the moment the season ends, get some lotto luck and end up top-3, take Martone or Misa. Best possible outcome of the season.
Sid and Geno will continue to lead us to mediocrity. I thought we were bad enough to get through it but apparently not.
Lots of 8-11 picks coming up. Jets have had success that way but I would have preferred a clear direction.
