And is this really the year to be trading into a high lottery pick? I honestly don't know the strength of the top 5 in this years draft, compared to the hype around McDavid/Eichel or Matthews/Laine/PullRV, or even Tyler v. Taylor. It doesn't seem like the really deep 2014 or 2013 drafts (but maybe that's just my ignorance). It's more like last year's draft, where only two of the first round are playing significant NHL minutes and, while having decent rookie seasons, aren't household names.
