Notes

edit
  1. ^ The Vancouver Canucks' first-round pick went to the Calgary Flames as the result of a trade on January 31, 2024, that sent Elias Lindholm to Vancouver in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, a conditional fourth-round pick in 2024 and this pick.[48]
  2. ^ The Dallas Stars' second-round pick went to the Flames as the result of a trade on February 28, 2024, that sent Christopher Tanev to Dallas in exchange for Artem Grushnikov, a conditional third-round pick in 2026 and this pick.[49]
