The Senators and Devils are tied for the most first round picks, with three a piece. Tampa doesn’t have a first-round pick because they traded their own to the Sharks for Barclay Goordow and Vancouver’s (which they got for J.T. Miller) for Blake Coleman of the Devils. New Jersey got Arizona’s first round pick in the Taylor Hall trade. They have their own first rounder as well.

Boston traded theirs in a deadline deal that sent David Backes to the Anaheim Ducks. San Jose traded their own first round pick to the Senators in the Erik Karlsson deal. That pick is the third overall pick.

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded their own first round pick to the Hurricanes along with Patrick Marleau in a cap dump. However, they got one back by trading Kasperi Kapanen to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Ottawa got their third first round pick from the New York Islanders in the Jean-Gabriel Pageau trade. There should be some movement during the NHL Draft. We’ll be sure to keep you updated. Give us a follow on Twitter at @Puck_Prose for updated analysis and news!
