No. I think it would be impossible to get into the top three.
BUT, assuming our pick is in the top four, and we ended up taking a non-centre (Drouin or Jones) I would definitely try to move up into the 5-8 range to try get Lindholm or Monahan if they were still available. It would still take a large package, but IMO would be worth it to make sure we get a high end centre out of this draft without passing over the higher end talent like Jones or Drouin.
I could see the Flames being hesitant to do this though. Not having a second rounder, I would guess we'll try and hold onto at least one of the later first round picks....
