Tonight is a big night, Detroit vs Washington (OT game please), and Islanders vs Rangers.

Unless SEA, NJD, or BUF win out to finish the year and PIT loses out...we're looking at picks 12-15 most likely. Getting 12 or 13 instead of 14/15 could be hugeeeee in the level of prospect we get to pick from.
If the pick sits at 14 or 15 overall...I'm officially on the hoping for PIT wins the lottery to move up 10 spots so we get next years pick.
I only want this years if its top 13.

We could still end up with Sennecke, Jiricek, or Greentree at 13-15, but I agree that this is seemingly a tier down from the tail end of Buium, Parekh, Yakemchuk, Helenius, Catton, MBN, etc.
I'm similarly a lot more excited at 11-12. But at this point I'm just hoping that PIT doesn't make the playoffs. Go Wings, go Isles, go Flyers. WSH may be cooked.
I would seriously consider moving one of our 2nds to move up the 2-3 spots to get to the top 11. The drop off after the top 11 is that dramatic to justify it.

Possible. Based on this trade value chart, Our 2nd is worth "550 points" and NJ's is 480. (edit: although it looks like that's for 2023).
Going from 16 to 11 is only "250" this year, and it's another 250 to get to 7th OA. However, that's just in the abstract, you need a willing partner who isn't sold on whoever they're picking at that spot.
Edit2: here's another one that I think Hodge has referenced before (?) that has numbers that are somewhat similar. From 16 to 7th OA is approx the value of our 2nd.

The problem is most teams also will agree with that drop off...so it will be hard to find a trade partner.
Maybe but it's not a big deal if we're at 13 and have to reach to pick Jiricek a bit to get him if none of the top six d-men fall to that point.

If our pick ends up being out of the top 13 in this draft I don't think we necessarily are losing out on a potential ”top 10” quality player. In this range we are either getting a riser or faller, or winger... Not necessarily a player with a lower ceiling. Out of the top 20 then the ceiling and floor drops. After all we drafted Hertl in the range our pick might end up being. I'm actually really interested in the hindsight reviews for this draft down the road vs last one.

It's usually a mistake to reach for a perceived need. Take the higher rated prospect that should be available. The Sharks have multiple areas of need
If We end up with Macklin then we should be pretty set at C.
Which I wouldn't mind with this pick. There's not a lot that they could do with the Pittsburgh pick that wouldn't make sense. They could trade back to pick a player that fills their need more and get more assets or take a better forward prospect if that's what is there. They could trade up if you wanted someone in that range enough. This pick is house money in terms of how it ends up fitting in for the rebuild.

Our "top 11" won't go 1-11. Every year someone unexpectedly rises/drops. Even at 15 one of those guys will probably be there

LoI. Idon't think it would be too much of a stretch to say LW is not a need. At least on the top 2 lines

We need everything. Most of our prospects will outright bust, half the rest will fail to reach their ceilings, others will simply fail to match their development time to everyone else, and some will succeed and get hurt.
There is no such thing as "enough prospects."

I don't think it's much of a stretch to project Musty there. Or Eklund for that matter.
Between the two, I'm comfortable looking into the near future

We have lottery tickets who might turn into one. Musty is a lottery ticket - maybe he's a lottery ticket that we can guarantee has at least one matching number, as opposed to zero, but that's the most generous we can be at this stage.
