Would be odd but not against the rules or anything. I suppose it's a possibility though as if I was the GM of the Jackets that wanted Brown I don't know if I would feel comfortable trading down to 6 and expecting Brown to be there knowing how unpredictable Dim Jim is. Stranger than the Jackets putting a jersey over Puljarjarvi would be them going up again at 6 to put a jersey on Brown while and the Flames not officially selecting a player in first round despite getting the 3rd overall picked player within minutes of him being drafted. I suppose a quick change of jersey at the tables would be done to get Puljarjarvi in a Flames jersey.
