But what people seem to overlook is, why would any team trade up? All well and good us wanting to move down, but I see nobody who would want to give up extra assets for a similar player that they could get with the pick they currently hold.
By all accounts, you can get a similar player at 6 that you can get at 10-14. So why would Boston give up assets to move up and grab Nylander/a defenceman when they could stay where they are and probably grab a player like them anyway?
The only hope of trading down relied on one team getting a real hard on for 1 player that could go 6th(Nylander, Chychrun etc). I don't see that happening. I think we are staying at 6 and if we are doing that, we should take BPA, not reach for a guy we think might be a better fit. This isn't the NFL.
