2026 NHL Entry Draft: Preview, start time, TV schedule, and how to watch
It’s been an interesting few days leading up to the NHL draft, with more picks not only in play but already moved than you typically see. A rising cap is giving teams room to add players to their rosters, and this year’s picks are being largely treated as currency to make those additions, even by teams that were well out of the playoff picture at the end of the regular season. The prospects have been watching the drama unfold ahead of the biggest day of their hockey careers, with their po...

In a way, due to several players with the team for three seasons leaving the organization...
NHL Mock Draft 2026: Montreal Canadiens select Tommy Bleyl 28th overall
The Montreal Canadiens surprised a lot of people — and broke a lot of pre-season models — by finishing the 2025-26 regular season as the league’s sixth-best team, a year after being the lowest-ranked post-season qualifier. They then took that a step further to be one of the final four teams standing in the conference finals. As a result, the Canadiens claimed the fourth-last draft pick in each round this year, and select one spot earlier, at 28th, in the opening round due to a penalty to the O...
