A conditional draft pick is a stipulation attached to a traded player, stating that if certain predetermined conditions are met, the terms of the deal will be altered. These conditions are designed to safeguard teams against overpaying for a player or to sweeten the deal if specific performance benchmarks are achieved.
"future considerations." This involves trading a fringe NHL player with the potential of receiving compensation, such as a late-round draft pick, at a later time. While these trades seldom make headlines, future considerations provide a flexible mechanism for teams to manage their rosters.
