Notes:
1 The New York Rangers' first-round pick went to the Philadelphia Flyers as the result of a trade on June 27, 2025, that sent Colorado and Edmonton's first-round picks both in 2025 (22nd and 31st overall) to Pittsburgh in exchange for this pick.[89] Pittsburgh previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on January 31, 2025, that sent Drew O'Connor and Marcus Pettersson to Vancouver in exchange for Vincent Desharnais, Melvin Fernstrom, Danton Heinen and this pick.[90] The condition – Pittsburgh will receive a first-round pick in 2025 if the Rangers' first-round pick in 2025 is inside of the top thirteen selections, at the Rangers' choice.[91] – was converted when the Rangers elected to send their first-round pick in 2025 to Pittsburgh on June 24, 2025.[92] Vancouver previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on January 31, 2025, that sent Erik Brannstrom, Jackson Dorrington and J. T. Miller to New York in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and this conditional pick.[93]

2 The Los Angeles Kings' first-round pick went to the Pittsburgh Penguins as the result of a trade on June 27, 2025, that sent Edmonton's first-round pick and Washington's second-round pick both in 2025 (31st and 59th overall) to Los Angeles in exchange for this pick.[94]
