Tampa Bay’s 48th pick and Anaheim’s 50th picks are confusing ones. Here are the details for both.

"The Toronto Maple Leafs’ second-round pick will go to the Tampa Bay Lightning as the result of a trade on February 27, 2017 that sent Brian Boyle to Toronto in exchange for Byron Froese and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[13] The condition – Tampa Bay will receive the highest pick of Ottawa, San Jose or Toronto’s second-round picks in 2017[13] – was converted on April 23, 2017 when Toronto was eliminated from the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs, ensuring that Toronto’s second-round pick would be higher than San Jose or Ottawa’s second-round picks."

"The San Jose Sharks’ second-round pick will go to the Anaheim Ducks as the result of a trade on June 20, 2016 that sent Frederik Andersen to Toronto in exchange for Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in 2016 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[15] The condition – Anaheim will receive the middle pick of Ottawa, San Jose or Toronto’s second-round picks in 2017.[16] – was converted on May 9, 2017 when Ottawa advanced to the 2017 Eastern Conference Final. Ensuring that the Sharks second-round pick would be higher than the Senators’ and lower than the Maple Leafs’. Toronto previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on February 22, 2016 that sent Roman Polak and Nick Spaling to San Jose in exchange for Raffi Torres, a second-round pick in 2018 and this pick.[17]"
