Notes

^[a] The Florida Panthers' third-round pick went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on February 27, 2016 that sent Teddy Purcell to Florida in exchange for this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).^[27] The condition – Edmonton will receive the lower of Minnesota or Florida's third-round pick in 2016^[27] – was converted on April 24, 2016 when Minnesota was eliminated from the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs ensuring that the Florida's pick would be lower than Minnesota's.
^[b] The Pittsburgh Penguins' third-round pick went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on February 27, 2016 that sent Justin Schultz to Pittsburgh in exchange for this pick.^[28]
The Edmonton Oilers' fourth-round pick went to the Anaheim Ducks as the result of a trade on February 29, 2016 that sent Patrick Maroon to Edmonton in exchange for Martin Gernat and this pick.^[29]
^[c] The St. Louis Blues' fifth-round pick went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on February 27, 2016 that sent Anders Nilsson to St. Louis in exchange for Niklas Lundstrom and this pick.^[30]
