Trade #2
-Pick #2 to Chi, who covet Misa
Pick #3 and Sacha Boisvert to NYI. Essentially this is pick 3 & 18 for pick 2.
NYI leaves the draft with Hagens, Dickinson & Boisvert.
This gives them a top pool with Ritchie, Eiserman

I actually think it makes a lot more sense for them to trade Dobson to SJ for 2nd overall and just draft Misa and Schaefer. I would even take it a step further (going NHL video game mode) and figure out a trade with Chicago to get 3rd overall. Maybe Barzal or something to play with Bedard. I know it's highly unlikely, but if they walked away with Misa and Schaefer that would be a great start to a re-tool. They still have a solid defensive core without Dobson and Schaefer could step in right away.
