Now they have Vegas' 2026 1st round pick and their 2027 1st round pick and their 2028 2nd round pick which could become the 2028 1st round pick.
The 2027 pick is top 10 protected. So the question becomes, what happens if that pick has to defer? if vegas wins the cup this year, we get their 2028 1st.

If they win the cup, and finish bottom 10 next year - what year does the 2027 1st round pick defer to?

Its very unlikley lol, but I'd imagine itll be 2029
