If the cost is right - like 4th OA + Colorado's 2nd I'd do it in a heartbeat. Burke has been known to make a big splash for drafts.
Realistically though it'd take more - our only leverage vs others wanting to move up is that Calgary's pick is still within the top 4 - the most hyped upper echelon, whereas teams like Toronto, Vancouver are on the outside looking in and will have to give up roster players anyway.
Regarding Ekblad falling I think Lowe and MacT have too much of a hockey boner for him for cooler heads to prevail. Screw them.
