I would consider:
#4, Hudler and a 3rd even though I like Hudler
#4, Glencross and a 3rd even though Glencross probably wouldn't waive
#4, Colborne and a 2nd
#4, Stajan and a 2nd
#4, Max Reinhart and a 2nd if FLA was in love with Max
#4, Granlund and a 2nd if FLA was in love with Granlund
Something in that mix maybe could get it done. FLA could always deal down to our pick and then deal down another couple spots for another asset.

Without a consensus that one of the top four were going to be a guaranteed franchise player for the team I don't make any of those moves. None of the players available are heads or tails better than the next guy. Since we need both a center or a blue liner I would just take the BPA and move on. I'd actually prefer the center. The majority of the best defensemen in the league were selected in the 2nd or later rounds. Use our extra picks to find that blue liner and come away from this draft with multiple bullets in the gun.
