In most cases, a team wouldn’t usually trade their first round pick, as there are enough young, talented players with potential to go to 30 teams (well 31 now) at least once. Some more than others, but you get the gist of it.
But this season, the draft class is extremely weak, with only four players really standing out in Nico Hischier, Nolan Patrick, Gabriel Vilardi, and Timothy Liljegren. So unless you have a top 3 pick, you probably aren’t going to find a solid player.
While the Panthers do have a chance at the top 3 pick, even the first overall pick, it probably isn’t going to happen as those picks are going to someone like Colorado, Vancouver, and Arizona.
