Yes, accept. However I don't see Edmonton taking that offer, we'd have to add more. They might deal down with CJB though.
If we did end up with the 6 and 7 I would hope Nurse would still be there because Monahan + Nurse or Lindholm + Nurse seems more balanced than Monahan + Lindholm with our need for another top pairing defenseman and the fact we've already got Backlund, Jankowski and Reinhart at centre. Obviously too many centres isn't the worst problem as you could move one to the wing.
I'd love two top 7 picks. Don't see it happening though. I think its more likely we trade up into the top 3-4.
