The idea behind a team moving up in this draft would be to get into the top tier wether that is 4,5 or 6 guys. i would suspect the price for us to move from to 4 would just be the established player and our first or our first and our 2nd. Not worth it.
But for a team like Vancouver at 6 it might be worth it to move up a tier of players.

Yeah, when we are talking about a 'high first' we don't know what this means exactly. Maybe for Florida they are looking for a pick in the #5-10 range or Buffalo is looking to trade with someone else in the top 4. If either of these two teams still wanted a top 4 pick I'd expect the additional price to be less than a 2nd/3rd and established top 6 player.
There is gonna be at least one team who is willing to pay that price though if they think one of the top 4 is a tier above the rest.
They definitely are not going to trade the pick for a high 1st + scraps/marginal players like Wideman. They are going to want someone like Hudler or Glencross in return.
