Except the Pens can't tank in 23-24, they don't have their own first rounder

It was top ten protected. Right now we are tied for 9th/10th lowest point total but according to point % were 16th lowest. But if we finish within the bottom 10 it is our decision if we let SJ keep the 24 1st or give them the 25 1st instead..
