Once Schaefer & Misa get picked #1 & 2 it wouldn’t be surprising to see trades being made since after these two any of the remaining top 10 prospects could be named in random order. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see teams trade their first round picks for picks in next year’s draft which is expected to be a great draft. The habs have their sites on a few top prospects including Caleb Desnoyers so it wouldn’t surprise me if they traded up by using some of their many picks or prospects to do so.
Evander Kane, who returned for the Oilers in the playoffs after missing the entire regular season after multiple surgeries, was traded to his hometown Canucks on Wednesday, clearing cap space before free agency.

Trade makes sense. Edmonton frees up much needed cap space to get some better goalie talent, while a soft Vancouver team gets a much needed injection of toughness on their roster.
