2025 NHL Draft: Lose a ton for Porter Martone

[Jargon]

Yep I feel the real contenders we will be battling for the 32/31 spot to guarantee a top 4 pick will be Chicago, Montreal (hopefully when Laine returns they will rise), maybe Columbus/Philly. But if Granlund does get traded, I think that would pretty much guarantee we get that top 4 pick at minimum.

That’s the thing. If we lose Granlund, I think the team will collapse on itself like a black hole. Unless Celebrini cements himself as a 1C by the deadline and Smith becomes a passable 2/3C by then, we’d be pretty certain to pick top 3.
