They don't happen because teams don't usually want to trade a young player as good as Ryan Johansen or Seth Jones. But if CBJ wanted to shop Johansen, they were going to get a ton for him. Same for NSH and Jones.
Elite young players are the most valuable commodity in the NHL. If you draft too many at one position it won't be a problem at all to swap an elite young player at one position for another elite young player at a different position.
