What are some of your best trades that you've swung on draft day? Or trades in general that you've done?

Can include keepers, picks, and drafted players

This was the year st.louis won the scoring title I belive ribeiro played well in his first year on the caps and Conacher exploded in his rookie year. This was also I time where schene trouba and steen were not know as good players.

On the day of my expansion draft last year , I used 2 of my 20 expansion picks (unselected players drafted on nhl teams) in 2013-2014 to pick Danny Briere and Brandon Pirri. I then traded both Briere and Pirri for two 1st roudners (11th and 13th overall). I then traded those two 1st rounders and two 3rd rounders for Ryan Getzlaf and Mikko Koivu. I then traded Mikko Koivu for Gabriel Landeskog. It was a pretty good series of trades that probably set my team a year quicker.

Prior to Halak being traded to NYI, I moved him and Barkov for MacKinnon. Barkov is no slouch and G are valuable in this league but getting Mack for that price can't be bad...

Last year I held the 2nd overall pick for which I was going to snag Drouin. When it looked more and more likely that Drouin wasn't going to crack the big club lineup and MacK was going to, I decided to trade my Kopitar to the GM that had the 1st overall pick. So I ended up with the 1st and 2nd and got both Moosehead stars.

I had to move landeskog last year to do the same thing, started my rebuild getting Mackinnon, Drouin and Lindholm

At last year's Draft Mackinnon went 2nd overall (behind Drouin) to a GM who made the mistake of saying he had no interest in him. I swung a deal to trade C. Perry and my 1st round pick this year (2014) for MacK and Tarasenko.
