Not gonna lie. Not feeling it for the 2026 Draft. As was said in the 2026 Draft Thread, this will be a draft of solid NHLers, appears to lack the star quality. Hardly the reward for bottoming out and watching a season of your team lose.
2027 looks to be much stronger, especially at the top with some potential bonafide stars.
I do hope that any trades for Kadri/Coleman/Weegar or Whitecloud have 2027 firsts coming back.
Here’s who TSN have listed as the top prospects. Size and skill. Hopefully will live up to its billing and be better than 2026.
