I wouldn't bet a lot of money on that.
We're currently the 20th ranked team in the NHL while being only 2 points up on th 26th ranked team. Lot of potential volitility there... combine that with this being the first year where the top 3 picks will be determined by lotto and the odds of drafting in the top 5 is to high to use it as a trade chip. I'd do it if we could have it be lottory protected (ie if we win one of the three draws the pick defers to 2017) but otherwise no.
