Overall I thought that this was a very successful experiment in trying to gauge where we potentially would have to move up for (or trade back) certain players. For instance it was clear to me that a player like Oliver Moore wasn't going to make it past 10-12 range for the Blackhawks to take in the late teens. A player like that we will have to trade up for.
