However, the Pittsburgh Penguins don’t go on the clock until the 53rd pick. If you think back to the trade at the deadline that netted us Derrick Brassard from the Ottawa Senators, you’ll recall that we sent our first round pick this year, which would have been #22, to the Sens.
#53 isn’t all that great, it’s actually in the second round which starts Saturday. But hey, what can we do about it?
Well there’s always the option of trading up to get a better pick in the draft. But do the Penguins need to that? Should we even think about it?
