• Their second-round selection (No. 46 overall) was traded to the Nashville Predators on March 1 in exchange for forward Mikael Granlund.

• Their original third-round selection (No. 78 overall) belongs to the Los Angeles Kings and was upgraded from a fourth-round selection as a condition of a trade that brought forward Jeff Carter to the Penguins on April 12, 2021. Carter had to play in at least 50 games during the 2021-22 season for the condition to be met.

• Their fourth-round selection (No. 110 overall) was traded to the Montreal Canadiens along with defenseman Mike Matheson as part of a trade that brought defenseman Jeff Petry and forward Ryan Poehling to the Penguins on July 16, 2022.
