So, say the Leafs lose the draft and end up with the 4th or 5th pick.
What are some scenarios for trading up or trading down?
Yes, I know this rarely happens, but I believe that there are 3 teams this year that may have, at the very least, a conversation with the Leafs about it. Even last year, there was that infamous Columbus conversation that, actually, almost materialized.
Some potential scenarios:
Leafs Trade Up
Edmonton wins 2nd or 3rd pick (I can’t see them giving up Matthews)
They need a D. Will they be willing to trade down for Chychrun? What would the Leafs offer?
Montreal wins 2nd or 3rd pick(I can’t see them giving up Matthews)
They like their French players. Would they prefer Dubois over the Finns? Maybe. What would the Leafs offer?
Now say they win a lottery pick.
Leafs Trade Down
Leafs win 1st.
This one has been debated a lot around here, but there’s always the Arizona wanting Matthews scenario. Funny enough, Coyotes are really starting to suck as of late and their pick is getting better and better. It’s still a little bit intriguing.
Any other scenarios?
