I'd at most add a 2nd to #9 for #6. Anything more is a bad trade.
Yeah, I was 50/50 on if an extra 1st would get it done, or a 2nd. Didn't have the historical facts in front of me, so I had to guess lol.

So would probably be 9OA + either our 2nd or NJD 2nd.

That's based on precedent, but there are some other, small, factors as well.

How deep is the draft? How big is the drop if the team trades down (Detroit in this case)? What are the players available?

But looking at history, trading up from 9 to 6 should cost our own 2nd rounder.

9+39 for 6
9+29 for 5

Agreed. I wouldn't move two first to jump three spots. Even if the second first is late. Unless someone unexpected is available at 6, I don't see enough difference between 6 and 9 to justify that deal.

Plenty of really good players go with a late first. It's still a very valuable pick IMO.

Detroit also has some really ****ty contracts on the books and need to sign some crucial FAs this year. Maybe we can work in taking some salary back instead of using the higher picks

I like the way you think.

Something like this:

Nielsen + 6OA for 48OA
Nielsen(50%) + 6OA for 29OA
Ericsson + 6OA for 29OA

What is elite sports New York and why is it being used as a main source for like...anything?

Are you kidding me? It's by far the largest digital sports media publication in NY and the world with half a million readers a month..

He's easily been outplayed on every team he's been on.
Producing point wise is great but if you can't defend it's like taking one step fwd and 2 steps backward.
How do you think he'd fare in tonight's game?
Here's the hard cold truth..He'd get lit the **** up!
He can't even penalty kill and he's a top 4?
Staahhpp!
You’re an idiot
