Two to four 1sts could be exchanged.
Some 1st/2nd round prospects could be moved as an equivalent.
Some could bring back a roster player instead.
Some will get less than expected once the teams offering 1st round picks have acquired their player or because they have control of their destination (see Hall).
Some won't be traded and/or will re-sign.
I'd say Giordano and Chiarot are likely to get 1sts.
Klingberg is more likely to return a quality prospect. Same with Hertl.
Ducks are likely to hang on to their players if they are still in the playoffs.
That leaves Pavelski, Giroux, Domi, and Miller.
Pavelski and Giroux are the most likely to return a 1st (plus). The re-signing potential is lower for them, so they make more sense as pure rentals, and both would be top 6 even on the best teams.
Domi would most likely be a 3rd line addition and return a 2nd (plus), while there probably won't be any 1sts left for defensemen when teams get to Miller, so a 2nd (plus) for him as well.
