The most I'd be comfortable trading down to is 9th maybe 10th and that is if we hit the 6th overall pick and there are 3-4 guys that they have rated the same on their list. Might as well trade down in that scenario because you'll still get one that you rated highly.

It is one of the perks having the first pick of the second tier. Either a first tier guy falls down to you, in which you thank the team above you that screwed up, or you have the availability to move down to get additional assets. Everyone from 6-14 is pretty much equal. Between Nylander, Brown, Chychrun, Sergachev, Juolevi, Jost, Keller, Bean and McAvoy, there is not a ton to separate them. McAvoy for example, who is on the bottom of the list of the top 5 D-men had the same offensive season that Noah Hanifin did in the NCAA last year. The only difference between them is McAvoy is 6-0 where Hanifin is 6-3. There isn't much to separate any of Nylander/Jost/Keller in terms of raw skill, with the only difference being that the latter two as slightly shorter than Nylander. It all just depends on what the team wants to do and what is available to them.
