That was due to the Penguins choosing to trade Jake Guentzel to the Carolina Hurricanes, with a conditional pick, whereas if the Hurricanes would advance to the Stanley Cup final, the Penguins would receive a first and fifth-round pick.
So now, instead of receiving the 31st or 32nd overall pick, the Penguins will be pushed back to the 2nd round in the draft instead of receiving the 44th pick in the 2024 draft, which is a Philadelphia Flyers pick, previously owned by the Hurricanes.
