Jones: Could The Bruins Deal Milan Lucic For A High Draft Pick?
BOSTON (CBS) - In a recent radio interview, Arizona Coyotes general manager Don Maloney made some interesting comments in regards to the upcoming NHL Draft and his team's third overall pick.
"It would take something really really special to deal the No. 3 overall pick, and I don't know what that means yet. But where we're at we have to say, 'OK. We're going to listen to everything.'"
There's also this:
Don Maloney says three teams already have called asking about team's interest in trading the third pick in draft. "We're open for business."

This got 98.5 The Sports Hub's Adam Jones thinking about the possibility of trading Milan Lucic, and whether or not he would be a big enough chip to move up in the 2015 Draft for a top 10 pick.
"I don't know how Arizona feels about Milan Lucic. Is he 'really really special'? I would say probably not. But from a Bruins standpoint I would do it in a heartbeat," Jones said of the 27-year-old forward.
Would you trade Milan Lucic for a draft pick in the top 10? Would Milan Lucic be a big enough chip to get into that mix?
