About this listen

In our 1st Episode of The Draft Board Hockey Show, we are joined by a special guest, Scott Wheeler who is an NHL writer for The Athletic and introduces us to the 2026 NHL draft class, including who are the top prospects, who can contend for the first overall spot, who are some potential risers by year's end and how the Hlinka Gretzky Cup could have bumped some of these prospects up the rankings. Gavin McKenna, Keaton Verhoeff, Ivar Stenberg, Ryan Lin and Tynan Lawrence are some of the names discussed.

Scott recently dropped his pre-season 2026 NHL draft rankings, so go check that out here:
