I consider the difference between 4 and 6 to be significant enough that the pick goes from untradeable to "only trade for a top player". I find it interesting that people disagree, but I think the last 32 years indicates that a lot of mistakes are made just outside that elite group.
It is great that we have six and hopefully Monahan will pan out, unless the Oilers draft him, but the risk that he or Lindholm won't seems real enough to me that it is much easier to consider trading the pick than if it were 4.

I agree with you 100%. It looks like the top 4 will all be very good nhlers. After that its hard to say what these guys will turn out to be like. I don't buy for a second that Monahan would of went first overall the last three years for a second.
