TBH I think that could make sense for San Jose unless they are sold that Martone or Misa is drastically better than what they could get at 5. Probably all comes down to how they rank the top 5 propsects. My guess is they wanted Schaefer but believe he goes 1st OV to NYI, so if they have Martone, Misa, Hagens, and Frondell all ranked relatively equally...then moving back to 5 doesn't seem that bad.

San Jose would have 5, 26, 28, 30, 33, 53 in that scenario.

Which would give them a lot of assets to be able to move for more immediate help on defense while still adding a high end forward as a prospect.
Much more likely than us having a sniff at it.

If they are flush with later picks they could potentially be talked into giving one for Andersson. I still don't think he's worth a 1st but there is probably the most likely scenario we could snag one in.

I think Buffalo might be open to trading 9, too. Maybe you let the SJ scenario shake out with Nash, see if we can get another 1st from them in the wake, then see if we can package 18 and one of the others to get to 9.
