I'd like to see us identify the group of players that we think can be big difference makers in the NHL, and move up in the draft to select whichever one drops the furthest. For instance, if one of Nichushkin, Lindholm, Monahan or Ristolainen happen to drop to the 11-12 range, we could target them there.

We gained a 2nd round pick by dropping 7 places, so if we were to move up 4-5 spots, we might be able to get it done with a 3rd and a 5th. This is much better value then giving up both firsts and maybe more to get into the top 7 or 8.
