<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Thanks for the shout-out! (Too bad that the gif didn't come across -- I'll assume it was a smile!)

Actually, we have the same strategy in mind for the Penguins, which is to start creating room for the prospects now rather than waiting (and losing) another season. Trading Rakell, Smith, Eller and Acciari for whatever you can get for them would help Pittsburgh immensely. But that would be dwarfed by the accomplishment of signing Colin Graf.

If you do land in an 8 to 10 slot, I think that you should keep the pick. You might want to take a look at some forwards who should be available there or re-stock your RD pipeline with Parekh or Yakemchuk. Assuming that the 2025 pick will be earlier is just defeatism.

I know that Dubas mentioned Blomqvist but I'd let him marinate for another season by re-signing Nedeljkovic if possible.

What do you think of Teravainen?</div></div>

Haha, yeah it was a smile, I was just playing around.

I would LOVE Parekh, this kid is insane and could take over the offensive right-shot D throne from Karlsson and Letang when they're gone. I would hope that we can't bomb bad enough to a potential #1 pick in 2025 if we do go the youth route now, I am hoping it works kind of like the Capitals this year, compete for playoffs with the vets surrounded by young guys.

I think Teravainen is a great player and could fit well, but in the Mark Madden show yesterday Dubas kind of implied they wouldn't be going the UFA route. He said they will be acquiring assets and using those assets to target younger players that "have become disenchanted with their current teams".

I wouldn't mind Nedeljkovic back whatsoever, he has proven to be a good and serviceable 1B / backup goalie and as long as he isn't asking for a huge raise, I would definitely be open to bringing him back.
