Who will be tanking for Gavin McKenna in 2025-2026?

No wonder the Pens haven't fired Sullivan. He's by far their best hope for drafting McKenna.

Buffalo, San Jose and Chicago have already started :p

Buffalo started 14 years ago :p. Very dedicated.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

This offseason is going to be so interesting with a major cap increase and a very talented draft approaching.

RE: Pittsburgh: I also have a shitty feeling McKenna will end up there because reasons. But if Sid is around, I don't know how they're the worst team in the league.

They have Sid now and they're still tied for 6th worst p% in the league. They'll continue selling and an already ancient core will be a year older. Could very well be the worst team next year even with Crosby.

Pens timed their downfall perfectly

They have done this in the past with Lemieux and Crosby. I am not sure the hockey gods will be as generous with them this time.

I don't know about SJ and Chi planning on being bottom 3 bad to start 25/26 season. I mean, can either GM survive a bottom 3 finish? SJ was like 1 point out of bottom 3 in 23 draft. Worst in 24, bottom 2 in 25 right now. Does the HC survive to year 3 if the Sharks are that bad in 25/26?

Can ask the same of Davidson and the Hawks. Fired Richardson, so what are the expectations on the next full time HC?

Buffalo, Adams will be gone if that occurs IMO. I don't think he can chance it.

Hopefully a Canadian team.

Such a shame these kids have to spend their careers in that country away from home

Oh, will be gifted to Pittsburgh for sure. It's been like 20 years since they got a generational talent. I expect Mario to say he will move the team to Siberia unless they are gifted numerous 1st/2nd OA picks.

I think he would be a great fit in Anaheim to get them a 1-2 punch with McKenna and Carlsson.

Team that would need him the most would probably be Nashville.
