What are people's thoughts about dropping down to pick up another second rounder? It seems there is a lack of consensus on the board about who to pick at 6 and I can imagine the Flames are having similar discussions. There seems to be players that we would be ok picking at 7-10 but not at 6. So question begs, if we can probably pick up a high second to slot down a few spots depending if a team is in love with a player they think might get taken above them, do we do it? As it stands, the player we might have ranked at 6 could be available a few spots down or the Flames might have a group of players ranked equally and would be comfortable taking whoever is left from that bunch. All this is premised on Dubois and Tkachuk being gone when we pick.
If we look at getting a late second, Florida, Dallas, Washington and Anaheim don't have second round picks. Perhaps these teams would be ok slotting down a few spots in order to recoup a second. TB already has 2 seconds but Stevie Y has shown a willingness to drop down in order to get additional picks so we could add them to the mix. Those would appear to be the targets if we are wanting to trade up into the first, which might be tough as someone pointed out due to the drop in the 25 pick range.
Would be interesting to hear what others feel about dropping down in the first and how low they would go and for what cost. And what are thoughts about trying to get a late first using our seconds.

You realize the Flames already have three 2nd round picks right? There's absolutely zero chance they trade down just to accumulate another 2nd. The Flames will be picking 6th and the question is more centered around possibly packaging up those 2nd round picks to move into a late 1st round pick.
