Does Iginla count? Dallas dealt him for Nieuwendyk.

No because Iginla wasn't traded at the draft

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

...what? Every single trade that ever gets made is posted almost instantly on this board.


It dos not happen frequently at all.

If you think young posters (or anyone else) hear about trades on the news, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Jake Massie wasn’t traded immediately after being drafted, but he was traded before the next season started.

Lindros comes to mind. Outside the NHL:

Eli Manning - Cry baby didn't want to play for San Diego Chargers.
Kobe - Drafted by Hornets, traded to Lakers in just a couple of days. Probably the best thing to happen to the Lakers since they signed Shaq just a couple of days before getting Kobe.
