If there was ever a draft to do it, it's this one. I only have 6 "A" rated prospects right now...
I agree, moving up in this draft is the best move, but doubtful anyone at the top would be interested...well, not at the draft values from the chart. It would cost more.

I don't see them trading all the way to 5. I think, most likely outcomes are: draft someone (who might contribute in 3 years as a likely middle 6 player) or we trade the pick in a hockey trade.

I hope KD can find a dance partner for that pick!

Yea I think that to, I see it as a big "risk" that we drafting at a worse position next year since we are finally free of Sully and we have had a few players that might be a lot better next year, and the youth movement can finally start, so if we want to have the biggest chance to get a new 1st line C, it is now.
