Arpon Basu from The Athletic examined past transactions to estimate the value placed by NHL general managers on moving up in the first round.

Based on these examples, to move from the 26th position to somewhere between the 11th and 15th, Kent Hughes will likely have to sacrifice at least a second-round pick, along with another significant pick, such as a second or third-round choice.
An example illustrating this dynamic is the Detroit Red Wings' move from the 22nd to the 14th spot to select goaltender Sebastian Cossa. In addition to their first-round pick (22nd overall), the Wings had to give up their second-round pick (47th overall) and a fifth-round pick (137th overall) to Dallas.
However, it's worth noting that in this example, the Stars ultimately benefited from the trade by selecting Wyatt Johnston at the 22nd spot.
Overall, this provides Kent Hughes with a good idea of the price to pay for climbing up in the draft. To listen to the full podcast by Arpon Basu and Marc-Antoine Godin, click here:
