Would that satisfy the rule for the NHL? Is there a team in this situation right now? Probably just BUF, eh? All the other lottery winners are too good or CHI which is already eliminated.
Maybe that's how we get our #1 C.

Trading the pick that won the lottery still would count as your team winning the lottery, so it wouldn't give any benefit towards future draft lottery eligibility.
