3) Tampa Bay- Nichushkin (One of the teams to have serious interest as with Nashville)
4) Nashville- Barkov (If Nichushkin is gone- they need scoring and got Weber)
5) Carolina- Jones (They get their franchise D-man)
Edit- My reasoning is this. Colorado should take Jones. They need a Franchise D-man but MacKinnon may be too good to pass up on and the other 4 teams under Colorado are semi-set on D and have more or a need for scoring. Florida has Gudbransson, Tampa has Hedman, Nash has Weber, and Carolina is weak in the #1 D spot. Just a thought.

Each of those picks is plausible. Unlikely that he falls to 5, but the above could happen (and crazier things have happened before)
