All this to say, conditional picks are crazy. Can we keep this kind of thing to the first two or maybe three rounds? Do we really need it in the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th?
Each condition on its own was fine, but together they turned in to a major headache.

But for Steve's conditions and Don's tank job, we have to swap the assumed picks for three trades. Detroit now sends their own 4th to Montreal in the Petry deal. Anaheim gets Boston's 4th. And Anaheim sends their own 4th to the Rangers because their 4th is later than Boston's.

Which brings us to today and dealing with conditional draft picks. For a lot of them, we can confirm that we made the right guesses. San Jose gets Winnipeg's 4th not Dallas' 3rd because they didn't make the cup final. The first that Columbus got for David Jiříček doesn't get bumped to 2026.

That was a safe bet. The Bruins hadn't finished below the Red Wings in the standings since 2015-2016. On Feb 1, the Bruins were still ahead of the Red Wings in the standings about 60% through the season. The Red Wings pulled ahead the next day, and the Bruins never caught up.

That's a little confusing. NHL.com called it "a conditional fourth round pick". ESPN and SportsNet both said that the Rangers would get the later of Anaheim and Detroit's 4ths. For reference, the NHL standings that day have Boston in 13th and Detroit in 28th.

To complete my headache, Jacob Trouba was traded to Anaheim in December 2024 for the later of Anaheim's two 4ths. For those of you keeping track, that's the later of Anaheim's 4th rounder and the earlier of Detroit and Boston's 4th rounders.

Almost a year later in July 2024, Detroit traded Robby Fabbri and their other 4th to Anaheim. The earlier one. As before, the media reported it carefully and cap sites had to make a choice. It was going to be Boston's.

That August, Detroit also gets Jeff Petry for Gustav Lindström and a 4th, the lower of Detroit's two. Media was careful in their reporting. Cap tracking sites had to make a decision. Will this be Boston's or Detroit's? The choice is pretty obvious: it'll be Detroit's.

Back in March 2023, Detroit traded Tyler Bertuzzi to Boston for a 1st in 2024 (that went to Ottawa for Debrincat and back to Boston for Ullmark and became Dean Letourneau) and a 4th. As interesting as the 1st is, the 4th is the star here. It gives Detroit two 4ths.

Among a lot of little internal improvements, there's also now a schedule page (with links to the official box score and game notes) and articles.
