2026 NHL DRAFT: DETAILED SCOUTING REPORT – Rudolfs Berzkalns, C, Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
Position: C, Shoots: L H/W: 6-foot-4 / 203 Pounds Date of Birth: Mar 3rd, 2008 Rudolfs Berzkalns took a major step in his development this past year, tripling his regular season point totals from the year previous and playing his most offensively productive hockey during Muskegon’s deep postseason run.

2026 NHL DRAFT: DETAILED SCOUTING REPORT – Adam Andersson, C, Leksands IF (U20 Nationell)
Position: C, Shoots: L H/W: 6-foot-4, 212 Pounds Date of Birth: 2008-06-07 If you’re only going by counting stats, Andersson’s season may look underwhelming. Especially when you consider he played as a top 6 center for the bulk of the season with Leksands IF U20. 17 points in 30 U20 Nationell games doesn’t exactly sound [...] Read More... from 2026 NHL DRAFT: DETAILED SCOUTING REPORT – Adam Andersson, C, Leksands IF (U20 Nationell)

MCKEEN’S HOCKEY 2026 NHL DRAFT GUIDE FEATURE – Supported By Stars: Caleb Malhotra Is Ready For Anything
More so than any other pro North American sport, the NHL is full of players with bloodlines. Their fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers or someone else from their familial history has played in the league. When you expand that to players with family members who have simply played pro hockey at some level, whether the AHL [...] Read More... from MCKEEN’S HOCKEY 2026 NHL DRAFT GUIDE FEATURE – Supported By Stars: Caleb Malhotra Is Ready For Anything
MCKEEN’S HOCKEY 2026 NHL DRAFT GUIDE FEATURE – Off the beaten path – Q&A with Wiggo Sörensson
Landsbro, Sweden. It’s a village like many across the slightly hilly, green southern Swedish landscape. It’s home to not even 1500 inhabitants and a scattering of traditional red barnyard buildings. It’s nestled between Vetlanda and Sävsjö, themselves all of roughly 13,000 and 5000 inhabitants, respectively. The nearest SHL towns are Jonköping (HV71) and Växjö (Lakers).

Position: G, Catches: R H/W: 6-foot-4, 196 pounds Date of Birth: 2007-11-09 The large Czech netminder, from Most, Czechia, is a towering presence in the net. He stands over the league average height of NHL goaltenders (~6-foot-3). He uses that size to its full potential as well, something that NHL scouts surely find tantalizing in [...] Read More... from 2026 NHL DRAFT: DETAILED SCOUTING REPORT – Tobias Trejbal, G, Youngstown Phantoms (USHL)

Position: F, Shoots: R H/W: 6-foot-3, 201 Pounds Date of Birth: 2007-10-22 Born in Memphis, TN, the now 18-year-old 6’3” Lithuanian has been strutting his stuff all season long between primarily the Swiss NL, SL, and U21 circuits, having caught our eye last season, not only because of strong U20 league stats for a 17-year-old, [...] Read More... from 2026 NHL DRAFT: DETAILED SCOUTING REPORT – Simas Ignatavicius, F, Genève-Servette HC (NL)

Position: D, Shoots: L H/W: 6-foot-4, 203 Pounds Date of Birth: 2008-06-11 One of the biggest stories of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft has been the quality of defensemen at the top of the class, from the likes of Chase Reid, Alberts Smits and Keaton Verhoeff, to the trio of superb WHLers in Carson Carels, [...] Read More... from 2026 NHL DRAFT: DETAILED SCOUTING REPORT – Malte Gustafsson, D, HV71 (SHL)
