Notes
* ↑ The Pittsburgh Penguins' first-round pick will go to the San Jose Sharks as the result of a trade on August 6, 2023, that sent Erik Karlsson, Dillon Hamaliuk and a third-round pick in 2026 to Pittsburgh in exchange for Mikael Granlund, Jan Rutta, Mike Hoffman and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade). The condition – San Jose will receive a first-round pick in 2024 if Pittsburgh's first-round pick in 2024 is outside of the top ten selections – was converted when the Penguins did not win either draft lottery draw on May 7, 2024. On June 27, the Sharks traded this pick to the Buffalo Sabres with their second-round pick in exchange for a first-round pick.
* ↑ The Detroit Red Wings' second-round pick will go to the San Jose Sharks as a result of the trade on June 25, 2024, that sent future considerations to Detroit in exchange for Jake Walman, and this pick.
* ↑ The Pittsburgh Penguins' fifth-round pick will go to the San Jose Sharks as the result of a trade on March 3, 2023, that sent Tony Sund to Pittsburgh in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2023 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade). The condition – San Jose will receive a fifth-round pick in 2024 if the Penguins do not qualify for the 2023 Eastern Conference Final – was converted on April 12, 2023.
