Prospect Info: 2025 NHL DRAFT

[Soundgarden]

Isn't it just top-10 protected? If it goes to next year, that's because TB drops back so far that it's a top-10 pick? I don't really see them falling that far out of it. If they miss the playoffs, it'll be just barely, so we'll get the pick. Best case maybe it's like a #14. Worst case maybe like a #18. But it's going to be this year either way, right?

Yes, unless Tampa falls into the bottom 10.

Yeh it is top 10 protected. I have a hard time seeing them dropping into the top 10 this far into the season. It is possible though. Right now theyre up 5 points and have games in hand on 22nd place in the league. But theyre also just outside top 3 in their division with games in hand there as well. Probably more likely they end up top 3 in their division then top 10 pick

Right now im hoping Vegas just doesnt win the presidents cup and loses in the 1st round.
