Notes:

  1. The New York Islanders' first-round pick went to the Detroit Red Wings as the result of a trade on March 1, 2023, that sent Filip Hronek and a fourth-round pick in 2023 to Vancouver in exchange for a second-round pick in 2023 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[134] The condition – Detroit will receive the Islanders' first-round pick in 2023 if the Islanders' first-round pick in 2023 is outside of the top twelve selections[135][134] – was converted when the Islanders qualified for the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs on April 12, 2023.[136]
  2. The St. Louis Blues' second-round pick will go to the Detroit Red Wings as the result of a trade on March 21, 2022, that sent Nick Leddy and Luke Witkowski to St. Louis in exchange for Oskar Sundqvist, Jake Walman and this pick.[137]
  3. The Nashville Predators' second-round pick went to the Detroit Red Wings as the result of a trade on June 29, 2023, that sent a second-round pick in 2023, and a fifth-round pick in 2023 in exchange for this pick.[138]
  4. The Vancouver Canucks' second-round pick will go to the Detroit Red Wings as the result of a trade on March 1, 2023, that sent Filip Hronek and a fourth-round pick in 2023 to Vancouver in exchange for the Islanders' conditional first-round in 2023 and this pick.[134]
  5. The Minnesota Wild's fourth-round pick will go to the Detroit Red Wings as the result of a trade on March 3, 2023, that sent Oskar Sundqvist to Minnesota in exchange for this pick.[139]
