Notes

edit
  1. ^ Karalahti wore number 16 in his first game.
  2. ^ Condition not met. The Flyers would have received the draft pick if either Beckett or Hubacek played in the NHL for the Predators during the 2001–02 or 2002–03 season.[12]
  3. ^ 9th-round pick in 2002
  4. ^ In parentheses is the player's free agency group on July 1 if applicable.[26]
  5. ^ More suffered a career-ending injury during the 1998–99 season.[28]
  6. ^ Nashville retained Lintner’s NHL rights until trading them to the New York Rangers on March 19, 2002.[19]
  7. ^ Nashville retained Tenkrat’s NHL rights until he was claimed by the Florida Panthers in the 2002 NHL Waiver Draft.[37]
