2026 NHL Draft Thread

You included Mews, don't get mad at me about it. The fact you're even bringing up positioning still kinda shows you don't follow the draft. Like I said, you should. Rosters change frequently and fast. Current roster means nothing.

The fact you're even considering position shows a major malfunction in your thinking. Whiteclould could be gone, Parekh could bust, Brzuestewicz has good potential but could bust, and Mews is just a normal 3rd round pick.

This is a waste of my time and I'm done with you.

Why couldn't teams define (and select) who they think is the best player remaining?

They can. And do.

BPA is also non contiguous throughout 32 teams draft lists.

BPA doesn't exist.

Fans will talk about BPA based on some imaginary list in their heads, or that they read about.

Come on now - Do I really have to explain my usage of BPA??


You guys are inferring that I mean "The board". I mean BPA on the Flames' list. I even made some examples as to how the Flames may have these prospects ranked on their lists. I am not talking about the 'board' here, as in "off the board" as some people like to complain about on draft day.
