Would people trade CGY 1st (6th overall) + PIT 1st (??? overall) for NSH 1st (4th overall)?
If they really feel MacKinnon and Barkov are the two elite centres of the draft then I'd say hey, lets do it.
Would NSH deal down 2 spots for an extra 1st rounder? It's certainly possible. I'd say that is a very tempting offer. They probably wouldn't do it if they have Barkov in an elite top four but I think there's some teams out there who don't have Barkov in the top grouping.
