what nhl teams have first round picks in 2027 draft

The NHL teams that are currently known to have first-round picks in the 2027 draft include teams with their own picks plus teams that acquired one through trades. The exact list can still change before the draft because future pick trades and protections can alter ownership.

Confirmed examples

• Montréal Canadiens — listed with their own 2027 first-round pick.

• Toronto Maple Leafs — their 2027 first-round pick was traded, with that pick going to Philadelphia under the reported deal terms.

• Colorado Avalanche — reported to hold a 2027 first-round pick from Toronto in a separate trade, though it is top-10 protected.

• Boston Bruins — involved in Toronto’s future first-round pick situation as well, with the 2028 pick tied to the same set of trades.

What this means

Because NHL draft picks can be traded again, a team may own a 2027 first- round pick now but lose it later , or acquire one later and not be on current quick lists yet. The most reliable live reference is the NHL draft tracker and trade transaction pages, which update as deals happen.

Important caveat

A complete team-by-team list requires checking the current trade ledger on draft-pick trackers, since the 2027 first round is still far away and ownership will keep shifting. Based on the available public info here, Montréal is definitely on the list, while Toronto’s traded-pick situation points to Philadelphia and Colorado being tied to 2027 first-round assets as well.

TL;DR

At minimum, Montréal is confirmed to have a 2027 first-round pick, and Toronto’s 2027 pick has been traded , with reported destinations involving Philadelphia and Colorado depending on the specific deal.
