Bedard is out of the question, would we be able to move up top two to four if we bundle the Ottawa pick at say 13th and ours at say 6th? Or are we smarter to keep those picks?
I thought you can only make contact with a player at the combine? The NHL might have some information that they would make available to all teams.
you can talk to the player.
Lol at that moment. Mr. Chayka trying to outsmart everyone once again but failing miserably.

Sure. That's great in theory, and when one player is demonstrably better than another - Marner v Storme for instance. In practice, players are often clumped together as far as "best player". That's when need takes over. Otherwise you get a very unbalanced team, with great talent in only one position.
Teams have their list and can either trade or select the player. They can always trade another player on their current roster. Right now we pick 5th. and our defense sucks, so do you thing we are going to pick a D this draft?
Not necessarily. Just consider how many variations there is in the projected top 10. Not everyone agrees who is BPA because they could all justify being there.
True. Every GM has their own list, and I believe most times they take BPA on their list, it doesn't mean they have the same players as another team. But as you say, there are circumstances that can change their mind. Look at last year when we moved up for Geekie. I think there were a few eyebrows there, but BA had him as BPA.
What does that have to do with anything?
It's a question. This is a prospect website. Have you started to formulate who in your mind are the obvious BPA's in a top 10-15 range
but you have such a strong opinion about who to take at our selection?
He’s not going to offer anything productive, only destructive. No new ideas, only criticisms of other ideas. Never and alternative idea in its place. It’s exhausting and honestly sad.
There’s enough free content out there for people to develop opinions about players; especially in the top 10.
