Boston conducted the first-ever trade in PWHL Draft history with New York, allowing General Manager Danielle Marmer to select Czech defender Daniela Pejšová seventh overall. Boston received picks 7, and 37 and New York received picks 10, 16, and 28.

Marmer on the trade decision, “The idea was created earlier today, but there was a contingency on whether or not a certain player was going to be there at seven and I think for Pascal [Daoust], if there was a player he wanted at seven that he wasn’t willing to give up. He gave me the nod; we went and talked it over and made sure we were on the same page. Then we were able to do it [the trade] pretty quickly.”
