Trading up is almost always a bad idea unless the price is super low. The draft, in all honesty, is a crapshoot half the time so the more picks the better. Quantity is always better than quality especially at the start of a rebuildnot sure, trade up?
Seriously!!! It's literally the ONE thing I have confidence in. People think drafting is "easy" ... it ain't. It's hard as f***.If we move up I have complete confidence whoever we take is going to be an absolute stud...

The players at 1-4 are not a crap shoot, after that it becomes dicey.Trading up is almost always a bad idea unless the price is super low.

And what would it cost to get into there barring a draft lottery win. 2 firsts and a second? All three firsts? The top four this year looks great but if moving from 8 to 4 or 3 costs us two high picks like that it's not worth it.The players at 1-4 are not a crap shoot, after that it becomes dicey.
I don't think anyone is moving down from 4, and no one will.move down from 6 if someone calls that shouldn'tWhat do you guys think it costs to move from 8 to 6 or 4? I'm guessing something in the neighborhood of a 2nd rounder to move up two spots? What's the price tag for jumping all the way to 4?

They couldn't trade up last year in a worse draft, and with better draft capital. I am extremely skeptical they can go up.I disagree trading up is important to get a player who is significantly better than what would be left when it is your turn to pick.
But are they always significantly better though?I disagree trading up is important to get a player who is significantly better than what would be left when it is your turn to pick.
If we pick 1st - Dahlin
If we pick 2nd - Svechnikov
If we pick 3rd- Boqvist

If you stopped there, I would've liked this post.
Boqvist at 4 for me, but I think if we keep the 8th spot, we can snag Oliver Wahlstrom.Who do you have at 4, Tkachuk? Do we really know for sure that he will have a better career than Boqvist? He may have a higher floor, but Boqvist could have a higher ceiling, no?

What should the NYR Draft Board look like.
I’d be interested in signing a guy like Stewart, Kulemin, or de Haan to 1 year deals and seeing if we can salvage value at of then at the deadline.
If they are sitting at 9 or 10 in the draft, I would highly suggest they trade Buchnevich to move up to 4 to 6 if possible. If Tkachuk is sitting there, then do it at all costs. Not a fan of his game. I'm sure other GM's out there are. To me, he doesn't fit what Gorton traded for at the deadline and drafted last year with Chytil and Andersson.
If they had to give up the 9th, Buchnevich and say Day. I'd still do it. Not sure Montreal would. However, Montreal isn't exactly a team for patience. If they are sitting there at 4, they might bite on that.
We already did this by picking Lias imo. It was said he was the most physically mature at the time out of the players drafted at his pick and later. Even some before him.Wonder how much of a factor readiness will play into the first pick? In other words, trying to speed up the rebuild by picking players who are further developed. Hope not .
His shot is pretty insane.I would be happy with Wahlstrom. Liked a lot of what I've read, although the scouts seem to knock his skating a bit...or at least his overall speed. Anyway, not sure he doesn't get selected ahead of Hughes or Bouchard.
