The Florida Panthers added six players to its prospect cupboard on Saturday at the 2026 NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo, NY. Los Gatos selected four forwards, a defenseman and a goaltender.
After sitting out Friday night’s first round, the Panthers started off by nabbing forward Simas Ignatavičius early in the second round with the 40th overall pick.
Ignatavicius is a physically advanced teenager with good size that’s an identity match with how Florida wants their forwards to play the gam...

McCrate wasn’t really ranked by anybody but hey, he’s a 7th rounder anyway. It’s all the more reason for […]

Ivanov, who just turned 18 this month, is a physically mature, well-rounded defenseman with professional experience, but his projection hinges more on the com...
A Dominican-Slovakian, huh? Henriquez comes to us from the USHL, though he is heading to Boston College this fall. His story absolutely rules; he chose to pick up goaltending in Middle School, and promptly just sort of stayed good at it throughout his career, only really stumbling in his first year in a new system […]

What was expected to be a bleak and uneventful draft for the Toronto Maple Leafs as recently as a few months ago quickly turned into fireworks. With some help from lady luck and the privilege of drafting first overall, new general manager John Chayka and the scouting staff had one of the more promising drafts…
Don Sweeney said there was a lot of trade chatter on Friday, and on Saturday, the Boston Bruins made another […]

It certainly feels like the Philadelphia Flyers are going to try to do something to change up their blue line — could that involve trading for Darnell Nurse from the Edmonton Oilers?
Nurse does have a full no-movement clause so he’s going to dictate where he ends up getting traded to after his time in Edmonton has almost certainly come to an end. And according to recent reporting, the 31-year-old defenseman has handed a list of just a few teams to the Oilers that he would be open to movin...
With the third-to-last pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, which was acquired from Colorado, the New Jersey Devils selected Quinn McKenzie from the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL. In 2026-27, McKenzie will be playing for the Penn State Nittany Lions. For such a late pick in the draft, there is actually a lot to like […]

With the 221st overall pick of the 2026 NHL Draft, the Montreal Canadiens selected Jean-Samuel Daigneault.
Elite Prospects
Daigneault is a very physical defenceman who lands crushing hits. Like Gleb Pugachyov selected in the opening round, he plays within the lines, taking few penalties despite the rough style of play.
After a year in the USHL, Daigneault will play for the Brantford Bulldogs in 2026-27. Brantford will hope he can help replace fellow Habs prospect Owen Protz, who...
