Would be nice to make a trade with another team fighting for one of the wildcard spots in the east and try to pry their 1st round pick so that we have some extra lottery odds. Not that I expect that to happen and I'm sure lottery protection is attached to any team's 1st where that team is potentially missing the playoffs this season.
Top 15 picks in this draft are more like top 5-10 other years though, so here's hoping. I mean if Tanner "freaking" Jeannot can get you 5 draft picks and a solid prospect surely to F we have something of equal or greater value.
Even a few extra top 60 picks would be really nice to have heading into the draft. This is a year to load up if you can, last time the draft was this deep was 2015 and we came out of it with Kylington and Andersson both in the 2nd round, and would of had our choice of Kyle Connor, Barzal, Chabot, Konecny, Aho, or others with our middling 1st rounder if we kept it.
