I think if memory serves it was about the holder of pick 23 before they would finally accept a draft pick trade but it was a straight swap...
At that point in the draft at my slot there were still huge prospects available like Yager (who was picked by the trade partner) and Michkov (who went 10th). It was a crazy draft, Leo Carlsson slipped to the second round and teams went way off the mock draft board.
In the end though I added a big contract and a two star prospect and the team swapped their first and three 2nd rounds. I was able to take Will Smith and felt good about what I got done.
