It's an unlikely but tantalizing scenario.

I think you do everything you can to get MacKinnon and Drouin at 2/3 assuming Jones goes at 1. Similar scenario to Burke getting Sedins. If you can build a forward group around those two and Backlund, Baertschi, Gaudreau (assuming none of those guys goes in moving up), then that is as good of a young group as you can hope for.
