Notes:
- The Montreal Canadiens' second-round pick went to the Tampa Bay Lightning as the result of a trade on June 28, 2023, that sent Ross Colton to Colorado in exchange for this pick.[189]
- The Tampa Bay Lightning's fourth-round pick was re-acquired as the result of a trade on June 29, 2023, that sent Chicago's fourth-round pick in 2024 to Tampa Bay in exchange for this pick.[190]
- The Anaheim Ducks' seventh-round pick will go to the Tampa Bay Lightning as the result of a trade on March 24, 2021, that sent Alexander Volkov to Anaheim in exchange for Antoine Morand and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[191] The condition—Tampa Bay will receive a seventh-round pick in 2023 if the pick is available at the time of the selection—was converted when the pick became available after earlier conditional trades with Columbus and Edmonton were resolved on April 8, 2021.[191]
