Assuming Tkatchuk and Dubois are gone, I'd be taking Nylander at 6 myself. Not trading down.
The other fellow was saying he liked Gauthier at 6, and I noted should Calgary want to select him that I wouldn't be upset by it, but I'd like to see them trade down instead of using their 6th for him. I mentioned an early 3rd round just for an example. Picks up an extra pick and you still get your target player. Being in that it's a thin draft, it doesn't hurt to have more selections to aid in discovering one of maybe only a few players that could become legit NHL'ers.
