That's the thing, if we end up with say the #1 or #2 overall pick, all of Jones, McKinnon, Drouin, Barkov and Lindholm are going to be good players, all with flashes of potential stardom. Each of them look like 70+ point forwards. Depending on what the return(s) might be, trading down would not necessarily be a terrible thing (only down to 5 at the very worst)
I wouldn't trade down for a 3rd, but if one of those teams threw a second in to move down a spot or two, I'd seriously consider it. Especially as there are about 40 or so 1stish round prospects this year.
