(Assuming the standings remain as they are now, for the purposes of this proposal), would you trade all 3 of our 2nd rounders and the NSH 1st for another pick in the top 4? Maybe add in a piece like Regin or Foligno if necessary?
Not that much. The team clearly thinks they can get good players in the 15-60 range. Murray's comments suggest that. I'd rather try to stockpile talent at this point than go all in.
Edit - Apparently the other team wouldn't do it either.

I think it's too much, I would pay Nash 1st, a 2nd and 1 of Regin/Foligno
Counter proposal: would you trade karlsson for a top 4 pick AND a top 6 forward?
Think of the St-Louis / Colorado or the Dallas/Pitts trades

Given that we seem to have some depth in role-playing prospects I'd do it.
I'm quite skeptical the other team would, however.
I guess it would depend on where Nashville's pick ends up. I believe it's 13th overall at the moment.
Ahh, I just figured out how to do it... assuming standings stay as today, package Nash first + a 2nd to move up into the top 10... then package that with another 2nd to move up 2 or 3... package that with our last 2nd and presto, top 4!!!
It's a wonder that I'm not a GM in this league yet

I probably think the other team wouldn't either, but if its a team that needs to restock its prospect cupboard rather than get one really good prospect, I could see it.
Speaking of the NSH pick, if they miss the playoffs *knock on wood* , have a better record than all other non-playoff teams and a better record than a couple of Eastern playoff teams, does the pick end up #14, or would it go down by a couple? (i.e. do all non-playoff teams automatically get picks 1-14, regardless of if they have a better record than a playoff team in the other conference?

How is that any different than my OP? LOL Get in the GM line behind me, buddy. LOL
Quantity over Quality. The chance of grabbing an elite level player increases with the amount of picks. No point in attempting to go for a franchise player if it doesn't pan out, too much of a gamble IMO;
I posted this in another thread, but I feel its relevant to this particular discussion:
"I hope we keep all the picks. The depth of this draft is what makes it strong, but there aren't really superstars to be had in the top 10 aside from Larsson, Couturier and RNH. To me, Strome or Huberdeau are not worth say Tyler Biggs, Alex Khokhalchev and Magnus Hellberg.
That's just me. I see Strome on even par with Nazem Kadri/Derek Roy in that he could probably be a top line winger or a really good second line center and Huberdeau has about the same upside as a Jacob Voracek/MPS.
At 13-15 with the Nashville pick there's Zibanejad, Baertschi, Biggs, Jensen, Jurco, who are not that far off from the top 5-10 forwards.
After that, the second round is littered with potential top 6ers. J.T Miller, Max Friberg, Vlad Namestnikov, Seth Ambroz, Rickard Rackell, Phillipe Hudon, Alex Khokhalchev, Stefan Noesen, Matthew Nieto, Shane Prince, Daniel Catenacci, Vincent Trochek, Marcel Noebels, Rocco Grimaldi etc. etc... There's so much talent deep into this draft, we'd be foolish to not exploit that.
Ottawa will get their elite forward prospect with the first then we can stock the cupboard with legitimate top 6 prospects and get another solid goaltending prospect into the organization.
Again, ask yourself, what is more appealing:
Strome vs. Zibanejad, JT Miller, Christopher Gibson?
there's been TONS of speculation concerning our first round picks.......any idea who looks tasty with our picks in the 2nd round??
St. Croix, Jurco, Prince that I've seen.

Gonna have to disagree. Strome at least is a fair amount ahead of the players that you listed. I would trade up for him. Other than that, if we can't reach for Strome, I say keep the picks.
