I'd be tempted to give our up 1st this year just given the fact our insanely out-of-touch scouting staff is still in place, and there's a good chance they reach for some player ranked late 1st/early 2nd that has the attributes they want in a player (mainly size, physical play and PIM totals).

Delay and keep pushing to lighten the punishment to something like drafting last in the first round of 2026

There is too much parity in the league, and teams are very often not consistent from year-to-year.

The downside of giving up a lottery pick, even if low, is not worth the upside of getting the 32nd pick and keeping a pick in the back half of the draft (assuming we finish in a playoff spot)

If Andlauer was willing to give up the Boston pick, I doubt he realistically expects any kind of reversal from the league.
