I wouldn't trade down if I'm not getting another 1st.
Apparently it's very likely that he doesn't go to Harvard.What's with the hate for Tkachuk? I kind of like him, I think he already has an NHL game.
I like Wahlstrom a lot, but the fact that he's slated to go to Harvard just leaves a sour taste. Reminds me of Louis Leblanc.

That's good to hear. Last I hard just a few months ago was that he was still going.

Tkachuk is at BU. But he could potentially join both Hughes in Michigan - Jack is also a possibility for next season if he goes on an accelerated track.Wants to join Hughes and Tkachuk
I know that last year the Canucks were going to trade 5th overall for 6th overall and a 2nd(unsure which one since Vegas had pick 34 and 62), but once Vegas knew who Vancouver would take, they backed out last second. Also, in 2015, I believe the Bruins were very close to getting a top 5 pick. So it's not entirely out of the question, and I would definitely entertain the idea, but if a team is offering a 2nd to move up, I wouldn't do it.This could be a very interesting option for the Habs.
How many top tier picks have been traded in the salary cap era?

If Rangers have a top 8 pick and offer another 1st, I would do it. I would also look to trade up with that 2nd 1st using our 2nds.I wouldnt do it. Odds of getting gamebreaking talent goes up exponentially from 10 to 1st.
There's the Leafs who traded a 2nd and 3rd to move up from 7 to 5 in 08'. There's only two teams who really fit what we want (another 1st) and aren't too far down from us, in NYR and Chicago. Detroit wouldn't give up 27th to move up one spot. And NYI's second 1st is too high.This could be a very interesting option for the Habs.

In this sense, it does really matter who we pick. There are players who, due to circumstance, will avoid our player development system. Anyone who's involved in the Swedish system probably won't play for our AHL affiliate (there's literally no purpose beyond a short stay to get used to the smaller ice surface). Likewise for NCAA players.

You're right I'll give you that, assuming we handle the player properly. I'm just so concerned how they will handle anyone we pick. Imagine getting Dahlin (despite him being NHL ready IMO) and you have MB and Julien saying, "ya let him do a stint in the AHL". I'm just not confident management can manage anything at all anymore.
