Going out in round 2 compared to going out in round 1? Yes it would.

Nope.  Outside of the final four, teams pick based on their position in the standings.  The pick only gets worse if they get past the 2nd round.

Watching PIT now, is anyone else reminded of the 2010-13ish RedWings? Almost like looking into a mirror in some ways.

I suppose Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Franzen are the poor man's Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel.  Pittsburgh doesn't have an aging Lidstrom type, though.     

However, they have a young goalie who has proven himself in the playoffs.  Two Stanley Cups he's won.  We had Jimmy Howard during those years.  Wait, we still do.

We will have Howard on one year deals until a prospect proves himself, a good trade comes along, or he retires. Bernier can't be counted on, and none of the prospects are ready for even full time backup duty.
