| Comment: If the 1st round pick in the 2026 draft is transferred to the Philadelphia Flyers due to the terms of the trade for Sean Walker on March 6th 2024 or it is not transferred but falls in the top 10, then Colorado will send its 1st round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. For the conditions of the 3rd round pick in the 2028 draft to be met, the Avalanche need to win the Stanley Cup this season and have Nelson play in at least 50% of their playoff games. Islanders retain 50% of Nelson's contract. | ||||
