Speculation: Value of pick 30/31

[Satanphonehome]

Past drafts have seen late 1st, early 2nd round picks moved for the likes of Robin Lehner, Freddie Andersen, Jake Muzzin, Ryan Hartman, Jeff Skinner, Philip Grubauer, Mike Hoffman, Thomas Tatar, Marcus Johansson, Travis Hamonic, and many more...

The Sabres acquired Brandon Montour for a similar pick and Brendan Guhle this year, and are in the market for a 2nd-line forward.

I’m curious to see what might be available next week with their late 1st-rounder as the main part of the return, from teams likely motivated by contract or cap situations. Jason Zucker and J.T. Miller are two names that come to mind.

What are some options, allowing for the possibility of lesser adds from either side?

No on Zucker unless Nylander is coming with it.

The Wild aren't motivated by contract or cap situations to move Zucker, and it's pretty clear that Fenton isn't interested in draft picks as the main pieces coming back.
It is pretty safe to say that Zucker won't be moved if the main piece is 30/31oa.
