again, really hard to believe that makar will not go top 5.
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
if he went later in the draft, then maybe I would consider this, but with my assumption that he goes top 5, then he'll go top 5 in my league's draft as well. Dmen are very valuable in this league, and I wouldn't want to chance not getting him. I actually acquired the 4th overall and then traded up to 3rd (really didn't cost much).
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
Great work forsberg fan!
One guy that will go higher than people think is Robert Thomas.

GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
Agreed!
I remember the 2005 draft when Montreal drafted Price. They got a lot of criticism at the time (I'll admit I was amongst the critics as well, I actually had my eyes on Kopitar for the Habs at the time) because the team already had a great duo in Theodore and Huet, while a young kid named Halak was doing very well in juniors. A decade down the road and I'll admit that I'm not second-guessing that call that much. :P
On a fantasy hockey break.
for all those who were saying that most scouts don't have makar as a top 5 player, well...

anything can happen this year, but with dallas (or whichever team trades up) and Colorado going at 3 and 4, hard to imagine makar doesn't go top 5 at the very worst.
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
interesting idea. although with this year's draft, and considering they've got no one in their pipeline, I think they'd be better off with the 4-t 1st rounder instead of nico/Nolan. especially if a guy like cody glass could be there at 6, who would be a very good guy to build around.
regarding your idea, I don't think the flyers would go for it, but i'm sure the devils would highly consider it. the flyers already have a stacked pipeline, and this is their chance to add a top line player, while the devils have virtually nothing in their system, so stockpiling first rounders would be quite good for them. although their real need, which is on D, would not be solved by moving down to 6, since the top two dmen should be gone by then.
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
I think the biggest omission is Jesper Boqvist.
Great skill and skating. I see him going in the 25-40 area.
Already playing top 6 in Sweden
