When you are talking about it abstractly (8th pick for 18 and 22) I think most people say no, but when you start putting names on the players and weighing what those players bring, I wonder if it changes your assessment.

As an example of how it would play out for organizational need tilting the picks: Flames get McQueen and the Sabres pick Hensler (RHD) and Spence (LW). Is that awful to someone who is familiar with the players?
I'm hoping that McQueen isn't like Couturier- more time in the IR than on the ice, but I would do it- I would also probably do it for O'Brien, Frondell, Desnoyers or Misa as well, simply because I believe we need a future #1C. Is Reschny a #1C? Probably not.

Just my opinion.
