Sigh. People are consistently showing that they don't understand the dynamics of moving up or down in a draft.
THe number of 'spots' you move down is irrelevant without the context. The context is what type of player are you giving up and what are you going to get back. Tampa would be foolish to move down three spots if three spots is the difference between a Drouin and a Lindholm. Depending on what their scouts say, Drouin is projected to an elite top line winger and Lindholm is projected to be a second line center. In that sense moving down three spots is huge.
So yes that would be foolish if that's what their scouts think. You need to think of it in terms of the players that will be available to you in your new draft position should you trade down.
