NHL Mock Draft 3.0: Movement near the top of the draft board?

The big question is whether or not the Dallas Stars are going to trade the No. 3 overall pick, and throw the rest of the NHL Draft into a little bit of turmoil going forward. Dallas is in the situation of missing out on the consensus top two picks in Nolan Patrick and Nico Hischier, and perhaps drafting a player that won’t immediately help the NHL club in a draft class that’s been labeled so-so at best. With that in mind, it sure seems like Jim Nill is willing to talk if there’s another NHL general manager that’s hot to trot for a prospect at that spot, perhaps buying in on a big, strong, productive forward like Gabriel Vilardi after his Memorial Cup run or believing in a sharp-shooting prospect like Owen Tippett that could be a pure goal-scorer for a team in need of offense.
