Notes

The Tampa Bay Lightning's fourth-round pick went to the Vegas Golden Knights as the result of a trade on July 8, 2022, that sent a fourth-round pick in 2023 to Montreal in exchange for this pick.^[151]
Montreal previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on July 24, 2021, that sent Vegas' fourth-round pick in 2021 (126th overall) to Tampa Bay in exchange for this pick.^[152]
Montreal will have the option to receive Calgary's first-round pick in 2024 if this pick is outside of the top 20. If Montreal declines to exercise this option or Calgary's first-round pick in 2024 is within the top 20, they will receive one of Calgary or Florida's first-round picks in 2025 or 2026. If both Calgary and Florida's first-round picks in 2025 are outside of the top 10, Montreal will receive the earlier of the two. If Calgary's first-round pick in 2025 is in the top 10 and Florida's is outside, Montreal will receive Florida's first-round pick in 2025; if Florida's first-round pick in 2025 is in the top 10 and Calgary's outside, Montreal will receive Calgary's first-round pick in 2025. If both Calgary and Florida's first-round picks in 2025 are within the top 10, Montreal will receive Calgary's first-round pick, unless said pick is the first-overall selection in 2025; if so, Montreal will instead receive the earlier of Calgary or Florida's first-round picks in 2026.
Montreal will receive Calgary's third-round pick in 2025 if Calgary's first-round pick in 2025 is the first-overall selection and Florida's first-round pick in 2025 is in the top 10 selections; otherwise no pick will be exchanged.
Montreal will receive Calgary's fourth-round pick in 2025 if both Calgary and Florida's first-round selections in 2025 are outside of the top 10, Florida's draft position is better than Calgary's, and the rights to Florida's first-round pick in 2025 are with another team; otherwise no pick will be exchanged.
The Canadiens will retain 50% of Dadonov's remaining salary until the end of the current season.
The Canadiens will retain 50% of Bonino's remaining salary until the end of the current season.
San Jose will receive Pittsburgh's fourth-round pick in 2024 should the Penguins reach the 2023 Eastern Conference final – was not converted from a fifth-round selection when the Penguins were eliminated from playoff contention on April 12, 2023.^[153]
Montreal previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on March 16, 2022, that sent Ben Chiarot to Florida in exchange for Ty Smilanic, a conditional fourth-round pick in 2022 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).^[154] The condition – Montreal will receive a first-round pick in 2023 if Florida's first-round pick in 2022 is outside of the top 10^[155] – was converted when the Panthers qualified for the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs on April 3, 2022.^[156]
