2 and 3 Swap

There were rumors Garth Snow was undecided on whether or not the team should take John Tavares or Victor Hedman in 2009. Look how that worked out.

I don't think CBJ knows who they want either so they wouldn't give up much to do this in my opinion.

If we want Carlsson, trade down and get LA’s 1st

Tavares has been basically a PPG player for a decade, I wouldn't say he's done poorly, but this is also why you don't walk players to FA with your signings. And frankly, at the time he signed that contract in Toronto, how do you NOT sign it. 11 million per year, completely buyout proof, full NMC, he took Dubas to the cleaners.

Columbus is in the catbird seat. They essentially don't have to make a decision. If Anaheim takes Michkov, Columbus happily selects Fantilli. If Anaheim takes Fantilli, Columbus happily takes whichever of Smith/Carlsson they prefer. No reason to swap.
