Moving up this year into the top 5-6 would be exceptionally expensive, and a team would have to give up way more than it is likely worth.

That scenario would almost never happen again. The Canucks, iirc, had the 1st and the 3rd, and according to Burke, he told everyone else he would be be the only picking both. Chicago had 1st and traded that to Vancouver to get McCabe and what ended up being the Canucks first round pick the following year. Vancouver then traded it to Atlanta so they could pick Stefan. The Rangers got Brendl at 4.
