This shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody, but as it stands the Penguins will not be adding any players in the upcoming draft that will have any sort of impact on the team in the future. Or at least the likelihood of that happening is very minimal.
Pittsburgh ranks 30th out of the 30 teams in the probability of finding players who will play in at least 200 NHL games.

You can see why Jim Rutherford is very interested in trying to acquire a first round pick.
