I seem to remember something with A.J. Thelen of the Minnesota Wild.
First round pick in 04 played in the NCAA. But than switched to Junior after two years. I seem to remember the Wild wanting to pass on signing him to get a pick.
Cherepanov of the Rangers also rings a bell. Rangers never got a chance to make a bonafide offer before his untimely passing. But I think they got the 47 pick in 2009 for not being able to sign their pick given the circumstances.
