About this episode
How will Gavin McKenna fit on the Maple Leafs? Was Daxon Rudolph the right choice for the Sabres at No. 4? And did the San Jose Sharks begin a countdown to a Stanley Cup? The 2026 NHL Draft picks are in and now we get to decide who won, who lost, who fits, who doesn't, and how it all plays out next season and beyond.
Join The Athletic’s Corey Pronman, Scott Wheeler, and Max Bultman, along with FloHockey’s Chris Peters, as they recap all the action from the 2026 NHL Draft.
