it was the 6th + before the playoffs... one can only imagine the cost of acquisition of Drouin has gone up since that point in time.

it would definitely have to be the 6th and a high prospect....not sure if Wotherspoon would be enough... and not sure if they would want a backlund over a higher prospect...

would he be worth it? tough question... he's looked phenomenal in the playoffs, but its a short tourney; who knows if he can sustain it over a season. However, the 6th is just a lottery ticket for TB - no gaurantee that pick even makes the NHL whereas Drouin is already an NHL player with lots of upside
