Notes
- The Chicago Blackhawks' second-round pick went to Montreal as the result of a trade on June 28, 2025 that sent Pittsburgh's second-round pick in 2025 (41st overall) and a second-round pick in 2025 (49th overall) to Carolina in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2025 (189th overall), and this pick.[138]
- The Boston Bruins' third-round pick went to Montreal as a result of a trade on June 28, 2025 that sent Vancouver's third-round pick and Detroit's fourth-round pick both in 2025 (79th and 108th overall) to Boston in exchange for this pick.[140]
- The New Jersey Devils' third-round pick went to Montreal as the result of a trade on March 8, 2024 that sent Jake Allen to New Jersey in exchange for this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[141] The condition – Montreal will receive a second-round pick in 2025 if Allen plays in more than 40 games during the 2024–25 NHL season – was not converted when it became unfeasible for Allen to reach this threshold based on remaining team schedule in mid-March 2025.[142]
- The Carolina Hurricanes' sixth-round pick went to Montreal as the result of a trade on June 28, 2025 that sent Pittsburgh's second-round pick in 2025 (41st overall) and a second-round pick in 2025 (49th overall) to Carolina in exchange for Chicago's second-round pick in 2025 (34th overall), and this pick.[138]
