Odds are they are picking 6th or 5th unless there is a big surprise. Only obvious pick is if they win the lottery and select first...it is Celebrini. I think at #2...they go with Lindstrom but they might trade down a few spots to get another mid/late first in addition to switching position with let's say, #4, 5 or 6.

At 5 or 6...

Lindstrom (If available)
Catton
Iginla

when is the last time we saw a team drafting in the top5 trade down?

also, 5, 1, 1, 7, 6

don't know but since this is a very D heavy draft, they might be open to the idea to slide from #2 to let's say #5 and get another late 1st and still get a forward they were targeting. I know odds are VERY low but I would be open to the idea.

When was the last time a team did something like that in the NHL draft?

Last I remember is when we moved up to draft Jared Steroidsnordi.

But that was 22nd vs 27th

Otherwise there was the Sedin draft

The Sedin twin draft is the last I can recall, off the top of my head.

1999

So how did Burke pull off the trade to draft both Sedins? The main piece of the puzzle was trading McCabe, the strong defenseman acquired in the Linden trade, to the Chicago Blackhawks. McCabe and a future first rounder landed Vancouver the Blackhawks’ first-round pick, which was number four in the draft. Now Burke had two top five choices, but he needed to make sure that neither Tampa Bay nor Atlanta would snatch one of the Sedins at number one or two. Burke traded two later-round selections and the number four pick to Tampa Bay to move into their number one slot, and then sent a pick to Atlanta to allow the Thrashers to move to number one with an assurance they would not pick a Sedin. That left Vancouver with the number two and three choices, which landed them Daniel and Henrik, respectively.

odds a very low of this happening but it would be an option on the table if the return is sufficient. Lots of if's

Will be interesting to see what happens if the drop down to 7.

It's kinda like the let's not draft a Russian because they might not come over debate when they all come over in the end.

Not hearing the same rhetoric for Demidov though, his contract in the KHL ends in 2025 I think
