In the very specific situation where SJ is OK either of 2 players, then it makes sense for them to dish out the 4thOA for 5thOA for more assets. Otherwise it doesn't make sense for SJ or MTL.
Example 1: If SJ and MTL are competing for the same player then no, a very late 1st is not enough to entice SJ to give up that pick. If Carlsson is gone, and SJ doesn't want to take the chance on Michkov, they'll likely go for Smith, then MTL is not getting Smith unless they offer more for the trade.
Example 2: If SJ and MTL want completely different players at 4 & 5, then it doesn't make sense for MTL to give up anything as they can just make their 5thOA pick and everything is happy.
Just don't see Grier moving the pick at all
