Tampa Bay Lightning / New Jersey Devils – February 16, 2020

Arizona Coyotes / New Jersey Devils – December 16, 2019
The 2020 first-round pick from Arizona in the Taylor Hall trade is top-three protected. Converts to 2021, if so.
The conditions on the 2021 pick are as follows: the third-round pick in 2021 becomes a second-round selection if Arizona wins a Stanley Cup Playoff round OR Taylor Hall re-signs in Arizona. The third-round pick in 2021 becomes a first-round selection if Arizona wins a Stanley Cup Playoff round AND Taylor Hall re-signs in Arizona. If neither condition happens, New Jersey still receives the 2021 third-round pick.
