Byram himself was drafted fourth overall in 2019 by the Colorado Avalanche, which acquired that pick in a trade with the Ottawa Senators. But that trade happened about one-and-a-half years before it ended up landing in the No. 4 spot.

The last time a team moved a top-five pick after knowing its position was in 2008. The New York Islanders traded pick No. 5 to the Toronto Maple Leafs for picks Nos. 7 and 68 in 2008 and a 2009 second-rounder.

The last deal that knowingly involved top five picks and a player was in 2003. The Florida Panthers traded the first overall pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for the third overall pick and then-prospect Mikael Samuelsson. The Pens drafted Marc-Andre Fleury, and Florida selected Nathan Horton.
