Wow 16 pages. When's the last time a 1st overall pick has been traded? I think this is simply a GM doing what any good GM would do in this situation in gauging what they could fetch for the pick and the scenarios of trading down prior to the draft to get a feeling. Of all the teams the only one I can really see seriously contemplating trading up is the Oilers as they probably think Ekblad is their missing piece and could possible send Yakupov over in some sort of deal. In the end I believe the Panthers will draft Ekblad after passing over Jones last season.
