does each team know which players other 29 teams like or dislike? Do they have any access to each other's draft lists?

Anksun said:In the overall, no they dont. But i'm pretty sure they are able to know to a extend which player some teams have in view.
When a team trade down a few spots because they think the player will still be available, they need to be sure the player wont go.
Good example is when Florida trade down to get Horton. They were sure Pitts would take Fleury but if Horton was really the player they were looking for, he still could have go between Fleury and the new Florida pick. Same when Edmonton trade down to grap Pouliot few spots lower (taking into account he was really the player they were looking for...) They certainly have a good idea of each other needs and interests when there are some of those switch picks moves but they certainly dont know all the list of the other team and that's why there's always some surprises at the draft table.
