Since the top three doesn't look realistic I've been thinking the same thing. I could see us trading our pick, likely 6th through 8th, to Boston for the 14th and 20th picks. We kick in the #54 for balance. That would give us a shot at two players from the group of Logan Brown, Julien Gauthier, Max Jones, and Riley Tufte. I would be happy walking away with two of those players from this draft. We would still have the Dallas pick hanging out there as well. It would be nice if that pick came to fruition and we were able to roll the dice on a player like DeBrincat. With our early second Taylor Raddysh would be a nice pick too. Add a goaltender and a couple physical defensemen with other picks and we'd be laughing. If we came away from the draft with that haul that would probably make our system the best for depth in the NHL and have some really interesting options going forward.
