WWYDW – Trading Down

Justin Fisher
9 years ago
This week at TLN we’ve been profiling the most-likely candidates to be drafted fourth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the upcoming 2015 NHL Entry Draft. On Monday we talked about Boston College’s Noah Hanifin, and yesterday we covered London’s Mitch Marner. A little later today, we’ll be posting our next entry in the series (pssst… it’s Dylan Strome). 
Of course, it’s certainly possible that the Leafs don’t pick fourth overall. If the offer is right, Toronto could choose to trade down. And man, would that have to be a hell of an offer.

The  Situation

You’re a member of the Leafs front office, and there are several teams looking to trade up into the top five picks of the draft. While many of you will simply want to keep the fourth overall pick, let’s never say never. 
What kind of package would get you to trade down in the draft? Would you need a top ten pick at the very least? A package of picks and/or prospects? Are you looking for young, NHL-ready roster players? 
Play GM and leave your answer in the comments below.
