With Chicago losing and Winnipeg's acquired 1st rder just had a thought - Do you think if the leafs had #2 or #3 and Winnipeg had #4-8 that Hunter trades down for Winnipeg's #4-8 pick plus Chicago's 1st rder?

A lot of really good players in 4-8, and a bunch of solid players in 20s.

In addition to this, perhaps Lou then moves Chicago's and Pittsburg's picks to move into the early teens.

Anyways, just some ideas while I await Saturday with great anticipation!

I don't think they trade down if they could nab one of the big Finns, they're a significant notch above the next tier. But your strategy might work if we pick fourth. With some scouts saying there are as many as a dozen players worthy of that slot, they might consider moving down a few notches and then packaging the assets gained with the Pens first rounder to get a second pick in the top fifteen.
