Prospect Info: Draft 2025 - Waiting for the Draft Lotto

I forget, when do the Rangers have to decide whether to protect the pick or not? It's like ~2 days from now, right?

48hr before the NHL draft takes place

It would make me very happy if the Rangers kept their pick and used it on McQueen.

i don't want McQueen there when we pick, the pressure would be too great to take a homerun swing.

The idea that the Sharks are entertaining trading down is interesting, but then you look at the teams behind them and wonder what the hell a team with zero prospects like the Bruins or a meh prospect pool like the Flyers or Preds could possibly do to make it worthwhile.

The answer is nothing. There's always rumors about teams listening on top 5 picks and they almost never get moved. When's the last time it even happened? We did it for Fleury and I can't even think of a time since then where such a pick got moved before the draft but maybe I'm forgetting an obvious one

That's actually dope that they're updating the odds live, I wasn't thinking they were going to do that.

 

[SEALBound]

Lol and we are bottom odds after two balls lol.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Holy shit that's huge for the Penguins. Penguins tied for the #1 odds now.
