Absolutely, to get the 1st or 2nd pick any team would have to give up the sun and the moon but once you get to 3-5 pick I think there are some deals to be done. This is where a team that is deep with decent prospects & promising young roster players like Edmonton or Nashville has a chance to move up. Calgary would have to give up Baertcshi or Brodie to move into the 4-5 slot; & both plus draft picks to get into top 2 or 3. Neither is a smart or viable option for Calgary trying to rebuild with a mediocre depth pool to begin with.
This could be the most interesting & exciting draft we've seen in many years!
