Aatu Raty
2023 conditional first round pick
Comment: The first round pick is top-12 protected, meaning that if the pick finishes in the top-12 of this year's draft, the Islanders keep the 2023 selection and the Canucks receive the Islanders' 2024 first round pick.

If the Flames get the first rounder, Calgary's 2025 fourth-round pick goes to Florida.

Kevin Bahl
2020 conditional 1st round pick
2021 conditional 3rd round pick
Comment: 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.

Vitaly Abramov
Jonathan Davidsson
2019 1st round pick
2020 conditional 1st round pick

San Jose Sharks acquire Date Ottawa Senators acquire
Erik Karlsson
Francis Perron
September 13, 2018
Josh Norris
Chris Tierney
Rudolfs Balcers
Dylan DeMelo
2019 2nd round pick
2019 or 2020 conditional 1st round pick
2021 conditional 1st or 2nd round pick
2022 conditional 1st round pick
Comment: The 2019 2nd rounder is the better of San Jose's own or Florida's own, previously acquired. If the Sharks miss the playoffs in 2018-19, the 2019 or 2020 first-rounder will be in 2019; otherwise, it’s a 2020 first-round pick that will go to Ottawa. If the Sharks re-sign Karlsson the Senators receive a conditional second-round pick in 2021 which would become a first-round pick if the Sharks make it to the Stanley Cup Final in 2019. If Karlsson is on an Eastern Conference roster (reserve list during the 2018-19 season, the Sharks would have to send the Senators an additional first-round pick no later than 2022.

Libor Hajek
Brett Howden
2018 1st round pick
2019 conditional 2nd round pick
Comment: Conditional 2nd round pick becomes a first-rounder if the Lightning win the Stanley Cup in either 2018 or 2019.
Ottawa Senators acquire Date Colorado Avalanche acquire
Matt Duchene
November 5, 2017
Shane Bowers
Andrew Hammond
2018 conditional 1st round pick
2019 3rd round pick
Comment: 3-team trade between Senators, Avalanche and Predators. If Ottawa’s 2018 1st round pick ends up being a top 10 pick, the Sens have the option to give Colorado their 2019 1st round pick instead.
