As far as I can tell, the Kidd/Brodeur incident was the only time we traded up in round 1.
We did do it a few other times in later rounds.
In 2005 we traded picks 87 + 96 for pick 74.
We choose Dan Ryder (ouch), and BUF picked MA.Gragnani (74 career GP), and our old friend Chris Butler (382 GP)

In 2007 we traded up with BUF again, giving picks 139 + 147 for pick 116.
We chose Keith Aulie (167 GP), BUF chose 2 busts with zero combined GP.

In the same draft we traded up with COL to select Mickey Renaud, sadly we never got the chance to see him develop. Neither of COL's selections have played in the NHL.

In 2009 we traded picks 84 + 107 to LA for pick 74.
We chose Ryan Howse, LA selected Nicoloas Deslauriers with one of the picks, he has played 99 GP in the NHL so far.
