Personally I don't think that a third line C a couple weeks before the deadline sets the market, Nashville essentially traded the 55th - 62nd pick, it may as well be a 3rd rounder. Teams are also going to be holding on tightly to their 1st's because if they are pursuing a Duchene, Stone, Panarin, Bobrovsky etc, they will require multiple. I think a team may spend a 1st on Stall if there are injures and in will be AT the deadline and we will find out only after the deadline when all the trades are filing in and they know they're out on the big fish. A team may get desperate and throw a 1st at Staal in desperation, that would be best case scenario!
