didn't Jim try to trade down to Vegas #6 spot?

Yes he did. Must have been confident that Petterson would still be there. Wonder what kind of scouting Vegas was really able to do.

He was, Vegas was taking Glass regardless.

Yes that too after he couldn't move up.  He knew that Pettersson would still be available at #6.  Vegas decided to pass because they realised that Benning was not targeting Glass so they had no reason to switch spots.

How would Vegas know that after Van lost out on PLD the previous draft?

Yup.

 

Also haven't liked Robert Thomas too. His numbers are obviously inflated due to his teammates but he hasn't really done much 5v5. Dillion Dube though has been pretty solid the last 2 games. He's like a Micheal Backlund, very defensive oriented. 

I agree about Thomas. I thought he looked good in the preliminary round, but has been a non-factor in the playoff round.

because Benning was willing to switch spots.  They were picking side by side.  If there was a team in between it's different.

Well not high enough to move up 1 spot to secure him!

If i recall there was a deal all but done in principal but Vegas nixed it when the Avs took Makar and Benning was confirmed with Petterson 

 

Thete was also a rumour of trading down but the Rangers had their eyes on Petterson/Andersson and Benning wasn't going to risk losing his man so nothing came of it
