NYR either has to give Pens this yr's pick or next per Athletic:
"The Rangers have been awarded the 12th pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. If they’d like, they may keep that selection. Doing so guarantees that the Penguins own the Rangers’ 2026 first-round pick. The Rangers also have the option to give the Penguins the 12th pick this June, which will allow the Rangers to keep their 2026 pick."
"The Rangers don’t have to make up their minds until 48 hours before the draft, which certainly makes the Penguins’ draft strategy more uneasy."
