Buffalo 3young forwards and a high 2nd rounder for a 27 year old and a high pick.

I'd be for making a trade to get that first overall. If it's something like Backlund, Baertschi, Knight and our 2nd round pick. No idea what it takes to get a 1st overall in a year like this but to have two in the top five seems worth giving up a lot. Quality over quantity - and denying Edmonton Ekblad seems worth a hefty price. Buffalo may be into that too given their history.
