In real life only 1st rounders can be traded in the season after the draft and only for the week leading up to the trade deadline. Anyone drafted in the 2nd round on can't be traded until trading opens again in June. In the OHL NO 1st Round Picks are moved PERIOD. That is their way of keeping teams from tanking, if you go back in the OHL's trade history there have been ZERO movement of 1st round picks. Because the talent pool can sometimes be diluted (3 star players, and then the rest of them down a notch) it prevents tanking teams from collecting an all-star team in one draft, 1st round picks are however availbale to be moved at January 1st. For example John McFarland of Sudbury can't be moved, but as of new years and up to the trade deadline (usually Jan. 10-12) he could be traded frm there on in, the actual pick used to draft 1st rounders is never allowed to be moved, thats why you see tanking teams piling up 2nd round picks, becasue the 1st rounders are inaccesable. We were talking about players, not picks. But yes, you are correct.
