Dumb question but I gotta ask we finish in the 6-8 spot after the lottery. We have what 3 second rounders? Has there ever been a package to deal to secure the #1 overall? We seem to have a lot of talented guys but really need another huge talent to match with some of these guys.

I don't believe so, and I don't believe it will ever happen. No amount of lower picks is worth the #1 overall. You'd literally run into logistical issues with player rights before it paid off.

I guess the Lindros trade might count. But, yeah. Basically not a thing. The cost of acquiring that pick would bleed us dry.

Can we be like this all of the time? I miss the late season excitement going into the playoffs. We have a real core forming in Larkin, AA, Mantha and Bert. The real issue going forward is going to be coaching, defense and goalie

Burke did it in 99 with Vancouver, to get the Sedin's. Draft order was Tampa, Atlanta, Vancouver, Chicago,... Traded McCabe and 2000 1st round to Chicago for #4, a few days before draft. Convinced Tampa on draft day to trade their #1 pick, for the #4, and two 3rd round picks. Then traded the #1 to Atlanta, on the stipulation that they pick Patrik Stefan. Leaving Burke holding #2 and #3 for The Twins. Burke becomes a legend for pulling off the greatest trade since Peter Minuit fleeced The Lenape Tribe of Manhattan, for $24.
