best 1st round pick that were traded away?

[octopi]

Wich 1st round pick, wich was traded away, became the best player?
Its interesting to hear if anyone knows...
and now I am talking about the pick being traded, not the player.

MA Fleury, I believe they Pens traded up with the Panthers to pick him...

 

[Seph]

Milbury traded the players after they were drafted, he did a great job drafting though

Except in the case of Spezza, where he trade the 2nd overall pick. Though, it more or less amounted to the same thing as Spezza was a definite consensus to be taken with that pick.

For the Leaf fans, Luongo and Scott Niedermayer.

LeCavalier is another traded pick.

That pick was actually traded twice. It was traded (along with Dave Lowry) to SJ for Viktor Kozlov and a 5th rounder and then it was traded to TB though I can't recall what TB traded to get that pick.

In 1990, Calgary traded the 1st-round pick that was eventually used by New Jersey to select Martin Brodeur.

In the same draft, Calgary then took Trevor Kidd.

I've have yet to see the Scott Niedermayer deal. Could somebody please enlighten me?

Not only that, they took Kidd nine picks before Brodeur.

Niedermayer trade...........

I believe the Maple Leafs got Tom Kurvers from NJ in exchange for a#1, which turned out to be 3rd overall Way to go LOU !! :

NJ traded Tom Kurvers to TOR for Maple Leafs’ 1st round pick in 1991 Entry Draft (10. 16, 1989)

 

[Barnaby]

Does anyone else see why the Kings should have won this years lottery? Weren't we due some luck?

I don't know of any other team that consistantly traded it's first round picks(that became great players) for a bunch of short term, gap filling, wastes of space as the Kings did in their first 20 years of existance.

LoL, try being a NYR fan

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Aug. 20, 1997 Mikeal Renberg and Karl Dykhuis to Tampa Bay for Flyers' 1st round picks in 1998 (Simon Gagne), 1999 (Maxime Ouellet), 2000 (Justin Williams), and 2001 (Jeff Woywitka).
I think we may have a winner.

Nah, the Grahme - first rounder (Ray Bourque) has to be the winner. Imagine if Bourque played with the Kings? They could have won the cup in '93, having both Grezky and Bourque.

What the heck, that happened??

Who on earth would trade 5 first rounders??

 

[albathegreat*]

LoL, what was management thinking?

no it was 4 first rounders. But still that is amazing.

 

[pnep]

What the heck, that happened??

TB acquired Flyers’ 1st round picks after PHI signed Chris Gratton as a free agent

 

[MattintheHatt]

no it was 4 first rounders. But still that is amazing.

Wow. Apparantly i cant count. Still crazy!

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I'm not sure but Rick Nash to Colombus???

I wouldn't mention that pick seeing how Florida go Bouwmeester in return. Not that lobsided IMO. Especially compared to the other trades mentioned.

 

[pnep]

In 1990, Calgary traded the 1st-round pick that was eventually used by New Jersey to select Martin Brodeur.

In the same draft, Calgary then took Trevor Kidd.

1990 -- #20 -- Martin Brodeur -- NJ from CGY -- Obtained #1 (Martin Brodeur), Detroit’s #2 (David Harlock), Minnesota’s #2 (Chris Gotziaman)1990 Draft Picks from Calgary for #1 (Trevor Kidd), #2 (Vesa Viitakoski) 1990 Draft Picks.(6.17.90 )

 

[The Kingslayer]

Tampa Bay and Pitkanan though they did get Fedetenko to help them win the Cup...but still...OUCH!

Would it still be ouch if the flyers never win the cup with Pitkanen on the team? Feds was integral for Tampa in the cup run.
