Looks like it was conditional.
"Minnesota will receive Pittsburgh's own first-round pick in the 2020 draft if the Penguins make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. If Pittsburgh does not qualify for the postseason, it will have the option to instead give Minnesota its first-round pick in 2021. The option will expire at 5 p.m. ET on June 1."
So if Pittsburgh is eliminated here by Montreal then they can defer the pick to next year's.
