If additional picks are not enough (and I'm not necessarily sure even Dallas #1 pick would be considering we are dealing with division rivals), the way you get it from Edmonton is by offering up one of the 3 most promising young dmen (Kylington, Anderson, Hickey) along with the #6. I think all 3 of them have promise and would hate to see them go, but at some point you have to leverage your strengths to shore up weaknesses. We have a huge hole when it comes to skilled wingers with size.
Or you see if you can trade that #6 pick for an existing prospect or young NHLer who fits that mold. Either way, barring a miraculous lottery win, I don't see this team drafting this high again for a while. We need to ensure that this draft is just as impactful as the Monahan/Bennett ones have been.

This post probably won't be to popular on CP, but i fully agree. Don't get me wrong losing a Kylington, Anderson, Hickey would suck, but the flames need a player like Dubios desperately.
Also agree with your other post that Wootherspoon won't get it done. One of the last teams the Oilers want to help out is the flames. It's going to have to be a bit of an overpayment for them to listen. Before someone posts that we should offer a Kylington, Anderson ect. to Columbus for the 3rd pick, i will say Bluejackets won't take that deal.
