Bill do you see any chance of Vilardi being seriously considered at 2 or is there a clear separation after Patrick and Hischier? - hereticpride
I don't know how the Flyers have the players rated. But if Vilardi is their guy, they probably could trade down a spot or two because I think most teams have Patrick and Hischier as their 1 and 2, with the order varying.

I'm hoping they stay put. Last year I watched all the videos and kind of liked Rubstov from the start, so when they traded down and got him, I was cool. I don't see any value in trading out of the 2 spot.

I think Vegas would be the one to target here. I would offer 2nd overall plus 2018 first overall and MacDonald for the 4th overall and their 2018 first overall. The only way I make this risky trade is if I know Dallas is picking Heiskanen at 3.

They are picking at #2 and taking either Nolan or Nico, I would bet money on it.

I don't have any interest in this. Sure, our pick at best next year should be in the teens but I don't like willingly moving out of the top 3. And I don't think Vegas will be willing to gamble(excuse the pun) next year's pick away like that.
And AMac is only under contract for three more years. It's not a great contract by any means but the term is manageable now. They can probably move him in a deal after this season if need be.
