It's an easy no from Arizona. With 3rd OA we are getting one of the top forwards, most likely Cooley. Arizona are starving for elite talent, especially up front and at center. He might just be the best player in the draft. Also, we have 7 picks in the top 45, so there is no need for more picks.
I know what the pick value charts are saying, but those are general. This year has a clear top 3, hence it's going to cost to move up. 6+12 for 3. Arizona aren't adding anything. Still, it's an easy no from me, as explained above.
There are however rumors of Arizona wanting to move up. Friedmann mentioned it. The counteroffer I present is CAR 1st (#27, 3.2 GSVA) + COL 1st (#32, 2.7 GSVA) for CBJ 1st (#12, 5.5 GSVA). Even then Arizona is offering more value, so Columbus would have to add 0.4 GSVA, which is your 4th round pick (#109, 0.4 GSVA). 12 + 109 for 27 + 32.
All in all, I see where you're coming from. Both Portzline and Scheig wrote about this. If Columbus want to move up and get Cooley, it's to 2nd OA. Arizona aren't interested. Cooley is going to look good in a Coyotes sweater.
