Penguins 2019 Draft Capital heading into trade deadline month:

1st RD, 2nd RD, 4th RD (3), 5th RD, 7 RD (2).

One situation to watch all season has been the 2019 conditional 4th round pick from the Buffalo Sabres received in the Conor Sheary/Matt Hunwick trade. The pick becomes a 2019 3rd rounder if Sheary scores 20 goals or 40 points or Matt Hunwick is traded before the draft. Neither is likely to happen.

With 32 games remaining in the Sabres season, Conor Sheary (8G-13A-21Pts) projects to fall short of either threshold that could turn the pick into a third rounder. Sheary with 2 goals in his last 30 games, is on pace for 13 goals and 35 points. Last season in Pittsburgh Sheary netted 18 goals and 12 assists.
