Explore documented exchanges and pick journeys. Pick histories trace ownership to the selected player; they do not contain every asset in the original deal.
2,412 picks are in the ledger, from the 2000 draft through 2026, spread across 35 franchise codes: Atlanta, Phoenix and Arizona still appear in the chains under their own crests, tagged (hist) rather than quietly relabelled. Most picks moved once. 619 changed hands at least twice, and one was traded five times before anybody used it.
Documented transactions, with the outgoing return visible. These are the deals as announced, not complete downstream asset trees or verdicts on who won.
Matthew Tkachuk
Conditional 2025 fourth-round pick
Jonathan Huberdeau · MacKenzie Weegar
Cole Schwindt · lottery-protected 2025 first-round pick
Context: Tkachuk would not commit long-term in Calgary; the trade sent him to Florida with a new eight-year contract. The original pick conditions are retained here; subsequent transfers and condition outcomes are not reconstructed.
NHL transaction retrospective →Joe Thornton
Marco Sturm · Wayne Primeau · Brad Stuart
The cards below follow one pick to the player selected. Career totals describe that player, not the value of the exchange. Dates, consideration sent the other way, and team motives are absent from this dataset.
This ledger follows picks only. The return sent the other way is absent. Differences in the selected players’ career totals cannot establish the net value of a transaction or either club’s reasoning.
A hit is defined at 100 NHL games, and that is a deliberately blunt line: it treats a 100-game journeyman and a 1,000-game star as the same event. That is why the ledger carries games and points alongside the hit count instead of leaning on the count alone.
Picks drafted after 2021 are shown but flagged outcome-pending, and career totals for active players are still moving underneath the page. Nothing here is final until the careers are.
