i think it's an absurdly bold assumption to assume that Pittsburgh will draft between 10-17

I dont think so at all. I think the Rangers, Devils, Caps, flyers and Carolina are all better

they play bad for one week and all of a sudden they're trash? c'mon. They're still the penguins.

Carolina, Washington are for sure gonna finish higher. I could see them fighting for a WC but theres so much competition with NJ, Philly, Florida, Buffalo, Montreal all fighting for a WC spot too. Im not saying theyre trash, theres just way more stacked teams.

just remember that first sentence in 6 months.

I don’t think you truly understand what giving the Penguins Chris Tierney could do for them. Adding Tierney allows them to flip Rust or Nick Bjugstad for a competent top 6 D plus it’s already addition by subtraction with JJ gone.

That is a very very good trade for the Penguins.

Also for Ottawa, who get another top 20 pick

And a 2nd, what a good deal for the Pens!

Id give that up and take Johnson just so I could draft Justin Barron

Barron looks like a top 10 pick (a lot can change beetween now and the draft but still) We will have a better idea at WJ in december

Yeah unfortunately I see him trending up maybe even all the way to 6-7

PIT is going to pick later than 16.
OTT 2nd is going to be before 35.

So Johnson (who everyone says is unmovable) for Tierney (very easily moveable and actually has value)
All to move up MAX 20 spots?

I said Dallas 2nd, im not giving u what likely is the 32nd overall to move up 10 spots lol

This is nowhere close. Tierney is worth the 1st on his own, let alone involving the absolute albatross that is Johnson. Marleau's contract just cost a 1st, let alone the garbage that is Johnson.

I didn't see that it was DAL pic... my bad.

Even still though, I think OTT gets fleeced here even to move up 20-25 picks
