Isles and Oilers both need D,so Dumba and Murray? In this case would they be willing to trade down for our pick? They know that Toronto,Montreal and Columbus all take forwards,so they don't have to worry about their D not being there when their time to pick comes.
assuming the Oilers stay at #2, i think it depends on what they want. I'd give, say, 2013 2nd and 4th to switch picks with them, but I wouldn't do the 2013 1st. Gardiner/Gunnar? no. Franson/Schenn? ...maybe...
Who do we pick?Yakupov is a winger.Someone should give Burke a pick tonot take the best player available,sure we need a center but that doesn't mean we take one,not at all.BPA is still an asset and dmen can be traded later.Who is ranked 5th?
May I suggest a temporary ban for the next poster to suggest this?
I have a realization for you to make OP: Why dont you go to NHL.com, check the standings, than slap yourself for failing to comprehend something that has been discussed to death at least a thousand times on this board....
Hey guys, not to rain on your parade, but doesn't Anaheim slip below you because they won fewer games (excluding games won in shootouts)?
Same number of ROWs. Odd number of head-to-head games so the only game between Ducks and Leafs is discounted. Next tie-breaker is goal differential which the Leafs have the upper hand on Anaheim

tho if we know this why give up more assets to move up when we know they wont be taking a player were interested in since were looking for a forward.
As far as I'm concerned, it's win-win with the 5th overall pick or 6th for that matter.
I'm liking the idea of Forsberg or Dumba more and more as they are much younger then some of the other guys, I dont know the exact cut off date but its looks like if they were 2 months younger they would be in next years draft

You just jinxed us. That pile of **** that montreal would be getting is likely galchenyuk. So assuming your scenario does not happen and we pick Galchenyuk we'd get a "pile of ****".

at 5 this is the way it should look like: (most likely 3 of those guys will be gone before 5 assuming nail and grigs are locked into top 3, murray/dumba most likely the 3rd of that group)
