You are wrong.
If they get down to 1-2-3, Carolina most definitely will, unless they can get Seth jones.
Also, I'm pretty sure Colorado will trade down if they cannot draft jones.
Edmonton would likely trade down if the had a competent GM. The new guy said he wants to take risks! He might trade edmonton's pick for Cory Sarich, (or any other defenseman).
I have no clue what Poile is targeting, but I suspect it is Nurse. If he is gone, I bet Nashville moves a few spots.
Philly is an eternal wildcard. They could trade the farm for #1, but they could trade out of the first round entirely.
My point is that, with my limited hockey knowledge, I can think of many scenarios whet teams are willing to trade now
