This should’ve been the game we punt but now it’s must win.
Time to step up
Forget playoffs, just need to get enough points to finish 14th in draft position and not give the 26 1st to the Pens.
Right which means if we are 14th or better it goes to Pitt this year and we keep the 26 1st. If we land in the top 13 we keep the 25 1st and lose the 26 1st. Right?It's top 13 protected.

yes, so we 100% want to finish in the bottom 13.Right which means if we are 14th or better it goes to Pitt this year and we keep the 26 1st. If we land in the top 13 we keep the 25 1st and lose the 26 1st. Right?
With the way this season has gone and everyone wanting massive core changes, I think it's much more likely the team is worse next year hence handing Pitt a higher pick.yes, so we 100% want to finish in the bottom 13.
A top 13 pick would be the only saving grace this season.
Who cares about next years pick, we will probably be back in the playoffs next year and we can give the pens the 20-something pick.
Plus there is a decent chance we can trade for a 26 first round pick as well. I guess we are all paranoid that we will stink next year, which is a distinct possibility.yes, so we 100% want to finish in the bottom 13.

It is? I've heard this year's draft is shallow after the top 8-10 picks and 2026 is much deeper.Yup, plus this a a good draft year to have a top 13 pick. I'm all aboard that plan.
Schedule is rough starting tonight. They are done.Yeah this team isn't making the playoffs after the last 3 games
Eh, just dont see it. We will be better without Kreider and hopefully Mika too, we will have JT for a full season. New coach likely. We will never be a bottom dweller with Igor, even in an off season from him we have hovering around the playoffs.With the way this season has gone and everyone wanting massive core changes, I think it's much more likely the team is worse next year hence handing Pitt a higher pick.
If they are bad I want a shot at McKenna.
Why not? Teams with average to slightly above average goalies are absolutely capable of being shitty. This is not Lundqvist we're talking about here, this is Igor. 90% of his NHL career has been extraordinarily average.Eh, just dont see it.

And we will have a lot of money to spend for a good UFA or two. I'd be shocked if we arent a playoff team again next year.
He's clearly having an off year, but that isn't true even in the slightest. Guy has consistently been a top goalie in the NHL since he stepped into the NHL, and has been the best playoff goalie going by stats over the last 3 years.Why not?
