But if Puljujärvi is the guy we want, the suggestion is that we trade down to get him and an asset.
I'm just wondering why the team at #2 (Toronto in this case) would give up anything to draft Matthews at #1, when they know they can have him at #2 with us drafting Puljujärvi.
It's not the first time I've heard it suggested that a team does this. It came up a few times with the Oilers drafting #1 OA yet again.
