Speculation: Drafted then traded?

[Makar Goes Fast]

Curious if a player has ever been drafted by one team and then traded at the draft (or within the next few days) to another team. I tried looking but couldn't find anything myself. Anyone know if this scenario has taken place?

Can’t remember for NHL but didn’t this happen in the NBA with Vince Carter and Toronto Raptors, so I can’t see why it couldn’t happen for nhl. Draft someone’s guy purposely for leverage

Dylan Ferguson

Maybe for O’Reilly? His bonus is on January 1st. Maybe Buffalo makes an arrangement, where a team drafts a player Buffalo wants, the Sabres wait to pay O’Reilly’s bonus and then make the trade after his bonus is paid.

Happened last year, Dyland Ferguson was drafted by the Stars on the 24th then dealt to Vegas for Methot on the 26th. Mind you he was a 7th rounder.

Edit: dammit @mymerlincat

Tim Kennedy. Drafted them immediately traded

Kennedy and Ferguson are the only two that come to mind. Incredibly rare, which isn’t surprising.

Didn't this happen to Eric Lindros? I mean I know he requested it but still.

Didn't it happen with the Leafs and Habs? I know Greg Pateryn was drafted by the Leafs I'm almost certain he was almost immediately traded for Grabovski

1974 Leafs drafted Doug Jarvis then traded him to Montreal for Greg Hubick, June 24.

Not right away, but for a 1st rounder Shane Bowers was traded rather quickly by the Sens last year. Drafted in June and traded by November.

And what a steal that was for the Habs.

What a mess that team is.

What a mess that team is.

Part of the Duchene deal. Not like they traded him for a 2nd...

A year after he was drafted.

Players getting drafted and then traded less than a year later isn’t that uncommon. Berard and Redden were drafted in 95 and then traded in early 96.

The nba is more common for guys getting drafted and then traded pretty much right away.

It happens in the NBA draft because of the Stepien Rule that states you cannot trade 1st round picks in consecutive years. Team will in effect make a pick trade so it doesn't effect the next year's pick under the rule.

The Denver Nuggets had a great draft in 2014 getting Jusuf Nurkic, Gary Harris and Nikola Jokic, but the Bulls drafted the Nurkic and Harris who were immediately traded for Doug McDermmot.

I was the NBA would amend that rule.

It happened in the NFL when The Raiders were trading up for Steve "****ing PUNK" Wisinewski but Al Davis was yammering on the phone too long and there wasn't enough time to get the trade in so the Cowboys selected him and the the Raiders took Daryl "Moose" Johnson who they traded them.

Happens more than young posters in this thread Believe. Only you don't here it on the news.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Berard for Redden is the last biggest one I know of, but it does happen quite frequently. Dylan Ferguson was an early one.

Yeah it happens all the time in the NBA

Ken Dryden I believe was drafted by the Bruins in 1964 then traded a few weeks later to Montreal

 

[LeafsNation75]

Greg Pateryn who was drafted by Toronto at 128th overall in 2008 was traded by them a few weeks later for Mikhail Grabovski.

Martin Gelinas was drafted 7th overall in 1988 then traded later that summer for some nobody
