Just some food for thought, but #1 seed's whoare the expert's picks to win a Stanley Cup can still be upset by the #8 seed. If playoffs started today, they'd be playing the Rangers and with Lundqvist at the top of his game an upset would not be out of the realm of possibility. So if Pittsburgh went out 1st round, we'd have the 15-18th pick along with out own likely top 8 pick. That is not bad in a deep draft. Bare in mind, you'd have to cheer against Iggy and the Pens for that to happen, which for myself, would make me feel a little dirty. But would 2 picks in the top 20, appease some of you naysayers out there?

EDIT: Also, if the season ended today we'd have an 6.2% chance of 1st overall and could do no worse than 7th, possibly someone like Monahan or Lindholm.
