Notes:

1. The Chicago Blackhawks' first-round pick went to the Columbus Blue Jackets as the result of a trade on July 23, 2021, that sent Seth Jones, Tampa Bay's first-round pick in 2021 and a sixth-round pick in 2022 to Chicago in exchange for Adam Boqvist, a first and second-round pick both in 2021 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).^[132] The condition – Columbus will receive a first-round pick in 2022 if Chicago does not win either of the two draws in the 2022 Draft Lottery^[132] – was converted when the Blackhawks did not win either draw in the 2022 draft lottery on May 10, 2022.
2. The Columbus Blue Jackets' third-round pick went to the Winnipeg Jets as the result of a trade on January 23, 2021, that sent Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic to Columbus in exchange for Pierre-Luc Dubois and this pick.^[133]
3. The Tampa Bay Lightning's third-round pick went to the Columbus Blue Jackets as the result of a trade on April 10, 2021, that sent Brian Lashoff to Tampa Bay in exchange for a first-round pick in 2021 and this pick.^[134]
