Breaking down every NHL team’s draft pick situation ahead of 2026 NHL Trade Deadline

A total of 31 NHL Draft picks have already been moved since July 1 – and more are on the way.
It’s one of the best currencies any NHL GM can have. You can either use them to identify your future stars or to sweeten the pot and attract immediate help. Every NHL team views each draft a little differently, with some valuing its picks more than others.
The 2026 NHL Draft will definitely be an interesting one. Some prefer Ivar Stenberg’s all-around ability and strong success against men. Others would rather go all-in on Gavin McKenna’s skill. The 2027 Draft is already heating up, with forward Alexis Joseph and defenseman Landon DuPont looking like the early favorites. For the real diehards, Maddox Schultz and Liam Pue won’t last long wherever the 2028 Draft is held.
With the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline set for 3:00 PM ET on Friday, March 6, here’s a look at how every team’s draft-pick allocation sits for the next three years:
Anaheim Ducks
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (DET), 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (STL), 2nd (DET) 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Ducks have made some real strides out of their rebuild and currently look primed for one of the Western Conference playoff spots. With three second-rounders in 2027, the team could package a few up to get some immediate help. Anaheim has a decent pipeline and a good young core as well. Moving a few picks to land a veteran to supplement the likes of Leo Carlsson and Mason McTavish might not be a bad move. Landing a defensive-minded blueliner without overpaying should be the No. 1 goal here.
Boston Bruins
- 2026: 1st (TOR*), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 4th (TBL), 4th (PHI*), 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 1st (FLA*) 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Bruins have four first-round picks at their disposal, although the two they traded for have conditions (top-five protected for Toronto’s, while the Florida pick could become 2028). Still, they have plenty of flexibility as buyers, pursuing either a top-six center or a middle-six forward, among other assets. The Bruins’ pipeline is improving, but their most valuable assets are definitely their high picks – especially if Boston thinks they can truly contend in the playoffs.
Buffalo Sabres
- 2026: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 4th (EDM), 5th, 6th, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Sabres have most of their own picks, and, for once, are actually in the playoff hunt. Could they use some of them to acquire some long-term help? They could definitely use some extra scoring depth and another solid defender or two. The real question is what the team plans to do with Alex Tuch – that’ll dictate everything. The Sabres have a few prospects they could move if needed, especially with no second-rounder this year. Buffalo will absolutely be an interesting team to watch this week. This fanbase deserves happiness.
Calgary Flames
- 2026: 1st, 1st (VGK), 2nd, 3rd, 3rd (VAN), 4th, 5th, 6th
- 2027: 1st, 1st (VGK), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (VGK*), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Calgary has three of Vegas’ picks in the first two rounds over the next three years. If the Golden Knights win the Cup this year, the 2028 second-rounder becomes a first instead. The team looks headed for a rebuild, meaning the likes of Nazem Kadri, Blake Coleman and maybe Zach Whitecloud could be shipped off to bring in future assets. The Flames have a decent prospect pool, and they’ve got the capital to really take this into overdrive. For any Flames fans excited about the future, this deadline should be a highlight of the season.
Carolina Hurricanes
- 2026: 1st (DAL), 4th (SJS), 6th, 6th (TOR)
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd (DAL), 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 1st (DAL), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Hurricanes have never needed to draft highly to extract value from their prospects. But having Dallas’ first-round pick – acquired in the Mikko Rantanen deal – definitely makes things interesting. Vincent Trocheck would be a high-value get for this club, and he’s signed until 2029. If Robert Thomas becomes a viable trade option, the Hurricanes have the resources to package a few picks over the next two years. There’s an opportunity for the Hurricanes to get aggressive, too, if they want, but they’ll have to dig into their future assets to make it work.
Chicago Blackhawks
- 2026: 1st, 1st (FLA%), 2nd, 2nd (NYI), 2nd (TOR), 3rd, 4th (OTT), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (VAN), 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (EDM), 3rd, 4th, 4th (SJS), 5th, 6th
The Blackhawks look destined to finish near the bottom of the standings again, so they’ll get another high pick. If Florida finishes outside of the bottom 10, the Hawks will get their first-rounder, too. With five picks in the first two rounds, that’s a lot of solid draft capital. They’ll likely get more for shipping off Jason Dickinson, Nick Foligno or another veteran pending UFA. At some point, they’ll need to turn their future assets into something tangible. That’s not happening this year, so enjoy the prospects.
Colorado Avalanche
- 2026: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 5th (BOS), 6th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Since 2021, the Avs have made four or fewer selections three times, including just two picks in 2022. Since then, the club has moved on from two of its top youngsters, Will Zellers and Calum Ritchie, to help boost the team immediately. So don’t be surprised if the Avs do the same again this year in hopes of finding some extra depth, especially on the power play. But given that Dallas and Minnesota both look like buyers in the same division, the cost definitely won’t favor the NHL’s top team right now.
Columbus Blue Jackets
- 2026: 1st, 2nd (STL), 3rd, 3rd (COL), 4th (TOR), 5th, 6th (PIT), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 3rd, 3rd (WSH), 3rd (BOS), 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Blue Jackets have a lot of draft capital to work with, and they’ve got some tasty cap space, too. The team needs some long-term help, whether that be another impact top-six forward, a reliable blueliner or just solid depth in general. The team has five picks in the third round over the next two years, and it feels like they’ll move at least one of them.
Dallas Stars
- 2026: 2nd, 3rd (SEA), 5th, 6th, 7th, 7th (TOR)
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Stars will be buyers this week, especially with Tyler Seguin on LTIR for the rest of the season. They lack a deep prospect pool, so they’ll likely have to part with some draft picks to bring in immediate help. That’ll be a bit tougher without a first-round puck this year or in 2028. But they still have their second this year, plus their first two picks in 2027. Look for all three to be potentially moved.
Detroit Red Wings
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (CBJ), 5th, 6th, 7th, 7th (CGY)
- 2027: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Red Wings have nearly all their draft picks for the next three years, helping them prepare for their first “buyer” year in quite some time. Detroit has one of the best pipelines in hockey, and they could potentially get more immediate help by moving their first-rounders and holding on to their future stars. This is a legitimately exciting time for the fanbase, which has been waiting almost a decade to return to the postseason. It’s not worth sacrificing the future to ensure this year is exciting, but they have the pieces to acquire the help they need to make some noise.
Edmonton Oilers
- 2026: 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 5th (BOS) 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 3rd, 3rd (STL), 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Oilers have about $10k in projected space at the deadline and very few picks to play with. Not to mention, outside of Ike Howard, they lack star power down in the AHL. So how exactly is this going to work? The Oilers might be able to buy low on scoring help (Matias Maccelli) or goaltending depth (Sam Montembeault), but that won’t move the needle for them. Finding the right supporting cast has been a challenge for the Oilers throughout the Connor McDavid era. If that’s going to change, they’ll almost certainly have to move on from their next two first-round picks, at minimum.
Florida Panthers
- 2026: 2nd, 2nd (WSH), 4th (CHI), 5th, 6th
- 2027: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 6th (WSH), 7th, 7th (SJS)
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Panthers are a bubble team, kind of like in 2023 when they fought their way to the Cup Final. But after two years of going all-in, could they look to stand pat this year, build up their pipeline, and shift their focus to 2026-27? That feels like the smartest plan, given the injury issues all season long. A fully healthy Panthers squad would have likely challenged for the Cup this year. But their window is far from over, and sitting this year out to fully focus on next year might not be a bad move (especially for their farm system).
Los Angeles Kings
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (CBJ), 3rd (DAL), 4th, 5th, 6th, 6th (COL), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
How will Kevin Fiala’s injury change the team’s plans? What about the coaching change? The Kings still have a real chance at snagging one of the playoff Wildcard spots, and they have a ton of draft picks to make it happen. They have their next three first-round picks and seven picks in the first two rounds over the next three years. If they can find some good long-term help to ensure the Artemi Panarin trade wasn’t pointless, they have the assets to spare. For what it’s worth: few teams have as deep a goaltending pipeline as L.A., so they could play that up if they need to.
Minnesota Wild
- 2026: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 5th (SJS), 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Wild kicked off the trade hysteria this year by acquiring Quinn Hughes, and recently followed that up by trading for Roman Schmidt. So you know they’re all-in. The Wild need some scoring help, especially down the middle. They don’t have a ton of cap space to work with, but both Ryan Hartman and Jesper Wallstedt could be made available. They have a good pipeline, and they still have first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. When it comes to their future assets, GM Bill Guerin shouldn’t hesitate to move anyone. Let’s see if Minnesota can finally drop the Mild tag this spring.
Montreal Canadiens
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 4th (NJD), 6th, 7th, 7th (CAR)
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
After years of being sellers, that’s all about to change. The Canadiens have an impressive pipeline and nearly all their own draft picks over the next four years. They’re definitely buyers, but more long-term than trying to force something this year. They have a ton of draft picks to dangle, and they’ll have cap space if they can move Samuel Montembeault, Patrik Laine, or both. They do have a few decent defensive prospects they could offer to acquire a big-name player like Robert Thomas or Jordan Kyrou, if needed. Regardless, the Habs have been building towards a strong, long-term future, and they shouldn’t abandon that strategy.
Nashville Predators
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (MIN), 3rd, 4th, 4th (PIT), 5th, 5th (EDM), 5th (CAR), 6th (UTA), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd (EDM), 3rd (VEG), 3rd (COL), 4th, 4th (NYR), 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Dang flabbit, that’s a lot of draft picks. It’s been a rough few years for the Preds, but they’ve built a decent pipeline and have 10 picks in the first three rounds of the next two drafts alone. That’s insane capital and something they’ll likely add to if they continue to sell off some of their veteran assets. The Preds have an uncertain future while they chase after a new GM, but whoever takes over will have a field day come draft weekend. Usually, a team with this much to work with will start buying. The Preds aren’t close to that right now, but, hey, maybe we see a few picks flipped before draft day.
New Jersey Devils
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (WPG), 5th, 6th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Devils entered this week as sellers after falling well short of preseason expectations. After trading away Ondrej Palat (and a third-round pick) back in January, look for the team to sell off a few more veterans to bring in future assets. They don’t have much in terms of valuable pending UFAs, but Dougie Hamilton will absolutely be one of the top names on the market. Cody Glass could nab them a pick or two, but that might be it.
New York Islanders
- 2026: 1st, 1st (COL), 3rd (NJD), 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 6th (NJD), 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Islanders went from having one of the worst pipelines in the NHL to one of the most envied. Getting Matthew Schaefer last year was a franchise-changing moment – and that’s just the start. The club has two first-round picks this year and could offload one to bring in some long-term help if the right name becomes available this week. As DFO’s Scott Maxwell wrote, “(GM Mathieu) Darche should reward his players for a surprising season and give them some reinforcements at the deadline, but he shouldn’t sell the farm to do so.” Having Colorado’s first-rounder gives them some flexibility there. If nothing appetizing comes along, then they have the two high picks to work with. A win-win, by all accounts.
New York Rangers
- 2026: 1st, 1st (CAR), 2nd (CAR), 3rd, 3rd (LAK), 3rd (NYI), 5th, 6th, 7th (VAN)
- 2027: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 4th (LAK), 5th, 6th, 7th
The Rangers nabbed a second first-round pick in the deal that sent K’Andre Miller to the Hurricanes last summer. As a non-playoff team, that’s the type of asset this group desperately needs. The Blueshirts are set to be sellers, even after moving Artemi Panarin (who didn’t net a high draft pick in return). Vincent Trocheck should net a nice package back, while Braden Schneider would be a good fit for many playoff contenders, too. Expect New York to be busy on draft day.
Ottawa Senators
- 2026: 2nd (BUF), 3rd, 3rd (FLA), 3rd (WSH), 5th, 6th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Sens were forced to forfeit their first-rounder due to the fallout of the Evgeni Dadonov trade back in 2022. The team is back in playoff contention despite dealing with some truly awful play at points this season, so we’ll see how they approach the deadline. Last year, they bet high on Dylan Cozens and Fabian Zetterlund to help bolster their scoring depth. Could they do the same with the three other picks they have in the top 100 this year? They won’t go big-game hunting, but snagging some long-term depth could go a long way.
Philadelphia Flyers
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th (CBJ), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 1st (TOR), 2nd, 3rd, 3rd (LAK), 4th, 5th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 7th (CGY)
The Flyers look primed to move on from Rasmus Ristolainen, and Emil Andrae could be an attractive trade option this week, as well. Regardless, the team should net some decent assets. They have a decent pipeline and four first-round picks over the next three years, so the future still looks bright. It’s a slow burn for now, but any additional picks will feel like a win for this franchise.
Pittsburgh Penguins
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (WPG), 3rd, 3rd (SJS), 6th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (NYR), 3rd, 3rd (NJD), 4th (WPG), 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (COL), 2nd (DAL), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
For a team that boasted one of the worst pipelines in the NHL two years ago, Pittsburgh has amassed some absolutely insane draft capital and an excellent prospect pool. They’re still in the playoff hunt yet have three picks in the first two rounds this year and could potentially snag a few more. The Penguins are in an interesting spot, having to think about life in the post-Sidney Crosby era, but they still want to give him another chance at a Stanley Cup. They’re humming along right now, so this deadline is going to be fascinating.
San Jose Sharks
- 2026: 1st, 1st (EDM, Top 12 protected), 2nd (COL), 4th (FLA), 5th (MTL), 6th (PHI), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 4th, 5th (CHI), 6th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 7th (CHI)
The Sharks have been one of the most exciting teams this year, going from the basement to a legitimate playoff contender. With a strong pipeline, a promising roster and a ton of cap space to work with (not to mention two first-round picks), the Sharks could afford to find some long-term help this year. Someone like Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, or MacKenzie Weegar would be excellent for this club while giving the young stars a legit supporting cast. The Kiefer Sherwood deal was nice, but could they go even bigger? GM Mike Grier needs to focus on the long-term, but they have the assets to speed that up if they want to.
Seattle Kraken
- 2026: 1st, 1st (TBL), 2nd, 4th, 4th (NYR), 4th (ANA), 6th, 7th, 7th (NJD)
- 2027: 1st, 1st (TBL), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
This might be the toughest team to predict. The club lacks a true elite game-changing player at any position, yet they’re still in the playoff hunt. But… should they be? They made the playoffs in their sophomore season and haven’t been able to sustain any meaningful momentum ever since. The Kraken have four first-round picks over the next two years and could use them in a package to make the biggest deal of the deadline. Or, better yet, they can focus on the future, maximize the value of those picks, and build as they should have from the beginning.
St. Louis Blues
- 2026: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 4th (DAL), 5th, 5th (PIT), 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 4th (ANA), 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Blues will be one of the most aggressive sellers this week, with some of the biggest names on the market coming from Missouri. So they’re bound to get some more high selections to build upon a decent pipeline. If they’re doing a full rebuild, then Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou will be the big-name pieces. Jordan Binnington, Oskar Sundqvist and Brayden Schenn will be easier to move, while Mathieu Joseph can be flipped for a mid-round selection. Let’s see if GM Doug Armstrong can give future GM Alex Steen a clean slate for next year.
Tampa Bay Lightning
- 2026: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 5th (SEA), 6th, 7th
- 2027: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Tampa’s scouting department usually gets to kick their feet up on draft day – they’re typically not too busy. Is there a reason to believe GM Julien Brisebois won’t have the same approach this year? The Bolts need some good middle-six scoring help to capitalize on what’s been a solid campaign for the club. Tampa doesn’t seem to care too much about the long-term, so trading any of their draft picks over the next three years shouldn’t be off the table.
Toronto Maple Leafs
- 2026: 3rd, 5th, 6th (SJS)
- 2027: 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th (PHI), 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th
What happens when you have no first-round picks over the next two years, a terrible pipeline and a team destined to miss the playoffs? A total disaster. Toronto went from perennial buyers to short-term sellers quite quickly, with what feels like half the roster appearing in trade rumors this year. The Leafs don’t have enough future assets to go into a full rebuild, but a retool (trading guys like Simon Benoit, Scott Laughton, Bobby McMann, Nick Robertson, or Matias Maccelli, to name a few) could open up some opportunities moving forward. The playoffs look less and less likely with every passing day – just re-focus on next year, guys.
Utah Hockey Club
- 2026: 1st, 2nd, 2nd (OTT), 2nd (NYR), 3rd, 3rd (CAR), 4th, 5th, 5th (CHI), 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Mammoth have been linked to some big names this week and have the cap space to make some serious noise. But would mortgaging the future really make sense here? The team has a ton of draft capital in the first three rounds this year with a solid pipeline to boot. Given they’re in Wildcard contention, they absolutely should be in on most major discussions. But they’re only at the start of their Cup window and shouldn’t stray too far from the path in order to chase long-term greatness. Utah should be able to swap a few second-rounders to get some scoring help, at the very least.
Vancouver Canucks
- 2026: 1st, 1st (MIN), 2nd, 2nd (SJS), 4th, 5th, 6th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd (SJS), 3rd, 4th, 4th (PIT) 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 4th (TOR), 5th, 6th, 7th
The Canucks should go all-in thi- just kidding. It feels like everybody on this roster has been involved in trade rumors. Will Elias Pettersson go? Tyler Myers? Brock Boeser? Conor Garland? Then there are the David Kampfs, Teddy Bluegers, Evander Kanes and Lukas Reichels of the world, each of whom should bring back a draft pick or two, at the very least. The Canucks are chasing after the first overall pick, and just about everyone else on the roster should be used to bring in as many picks as humanly possible. The team’s pipeline is weak right now, but that should change in June – assuming GM Patrik Allvin (rightfully) sells off just about everything at the deadline. Another first-round pick would be huge.
Vegas Golden Knights
- 2026: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 2nd, 3rd (SJS), 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Here’s a bold prediction – you see that first-round pick in 2028? Get ready for it: Vegas is going to trade it. And the deal’s going to come at the last possible second for the biggest name still on the board. It’s a tried-and-true recipe the club has employed since Day 1, and there’s little reason to believe that’ll change this year. By Vegas’ standards, they still have significant draft capital to work with, and you can bet your horses every single selection (and every prospect) will be on the table this week.
Washington Capitals
- 2026: 1st, 4th, 4th (VGK), 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th (OTT)
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
The Capitals have built an impressive prospect pool in recent years, setting them up for the post-Alex Ovechkin future. But they’re still in the playoff hunt and will almost definitely look to acquire some depth this week. The Capitals haven’t been linked to any big names but could use one of their next two second-rounders or surplus of prospects to bring in someone who can stick around for a few years – say, Shane Wright. It’ll be hard to bring in a more impactful asset without trading a first-rounder, though.
Winnipeg Jets
- 2026: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2027: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th
- 2028: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
Could you imagine going from winning the Presidents’ Trophy to finding yourself in the Gavin McKenna hunt less than 12 months later? It’s been a horrendous season for the Jets, who look set to sell off a few of their more notable veteran assets (and, potentially, Brad Lambert). It might be hard to land another first-round pick in 2026 (unless someone really wants Logan Stanley), but that would go a long way in boosting the team’s mid-pack pipeline. They don’t have much long-term help in the AHL, so selling off the older guys on expiring deals to bring in future assets will be an absolute win.
