Notes
- The Vegas Golden Knights' first-round pick went to the Calgary Flames as the result of a trade on March 6, 2024, that sent Mikhail Vorobyev to Vegas in exchange for Daniil Miromanov, a conditional third-round pick in 2025 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade). The condition – Calgary will receive a first-round pick in 2026 if Vegas does not possess their first-round pick in 2025 by March 10, 2024[23] – was converted when Vegas transferred their first-round pick in 2025 to San Jose on March 8, 2024.[24]
- from Nashville via Carolina
- The Ottawa Senators' second-round pick will go to the Calgary Flames as the result of a trade on March 4, 2026, that sent MacKenzie Weegar to Utah in exchange for Olli Määttä, Jonathan Castagna, a second-round pick in 2026, the Rangers' second-round pick in 2026 and this pick.[25]
- The Vancouver Canucks' third-round pick will go to the Calgary Flames as the result of a trade on November 30, 2023, that sent Nikita Zadorov to Vancouver in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in 2024 and this pick.[26]
