Per Tankathon: [After picks 1-16 are assigned] Playoff teams that did not win their divisions and did not make the conference finals, sorted by points, are assigned the next picks. After that, playoff teams that won their divisions and did not make the conference finals are asssigned the next picks, sorted by points. Conference finals losers sorted by points are assigned picks 29 and 30. Pick 31 is assigned to the Stanley Cup runner-up. Pick 32 is assigned to the Stanley Cup champion. With a defeat before reaching the conference finals and a second-place finish in their division, the condition on the first round pick involved in the K'Andre Miller trade is now resolved: Dallas' pick is guaranteed to be earlier than Carolina's, meaning it will become property of the Rangers. Carolina will retain their own pick. The trade now looks like this: NYR receives CAR receives D Scott Morrow D K'Andre Miller* DAL 2026 1st - CAR 2026 2nd - * Miller signed an 8-year extension with an AAV of $7.5m as part of the transaction. This also means that Miller becomes part of the Rantanen trade tree. Carolina still has Dallas' 2028 first as well (top-10 protected), so that tree could be expanded further in the future. submitted by /u/FailureToExecute [link] [comments]
