The price to move up is more than most of us would be willing to pay IMO. The real question is would it be more than Burke is willing to pay? You gotta know he's drooling over the 6'4 potential franchise defenseman. In the end I bet Florida demands too much for the pick. Ekblad is a perfect fit for them IMO and I don't think they move down unless somebody massively overpays.
Now on the other hand if you want to start a thread about trading up to #2 with BUF, I could see that being far more feasible. However I'm not sure it adds much value for us unless we really love a guy like Bennett more than rest and are scared someone will take him.
Feels like a year where we just sit at #4 and several good players will drop to us.
