Description

PIT drops like a rock and picks in the top ten of the first round, CAR runs through the East and splats against the Vegas Wall of Death, Jake the Snake slithers back home in the off-season.

Magical!

Jake Guentzel pulls a Mark Recchi and rolls right back home after CAR beats VGK in 7 to lift the Cup.

This entire thing is embarrassing. The Arizona trade is obviously a no from them and we have zero need to be dumping Rakell or Graves.

Trades aside, if you are starting your rebuild you should be targeting your next 1D first as they will take longer to develop. This being a primarily defense heavy draft makes that a far more logical direction. If buium is still there when the Pens pick they should instantly take

I would rather sign Kylington to that number than take Graves.

Yeah, tbh I kinda expect him to stay in Calgary. And I expect Graves to stay in Pitt. I'd certainly rather he not, tho.
