If we finished with the 1st overall pick, would it be insane to trade down to 2nd or 3rd to take Drouin/Barkov (assuming you had an understanding with the team or teams that they were going for Jones/MacKinnon)?
It just seems like the players are all so close in terms of the media and scouts.

If the players are so close then it's unlikely to find a trade partner 2 to 3 spots down. Why would they give up the extra picks to draft a similarly rated player?
