All this hope to move up to 3 has me expecting it will not happen.
Many have dreaded the notion of them trading down once it gets to 6 and their initial target is gone. If done right they could still come out looking quite well. Let's say Dubois fell to 6. If they pick him, fantastic. I would be over the moon of it happened. But I'm in the boat of believing you could still snag a very good NHLer at 7-10. Here's a Treliving like scenario...
To Montreal
6 OA (Dubois)
To Calgary
9 OA (Sergachev/Nylander/Keller/Jost/Juolevi/Chychrun/Brown)
39 OA
To Pittsburgh
Wideman
35 OA
*56 OA if needed
To Calgary
MAF
To team in late teens/early 20's
39 OA
54 OA
To Calgary
Pick 17-22 (Gauthier)
