The storylines begin with the Maple Leafs, who have the No. 1 pick for the first time since 2016. The focus centers squarely on Gavin McKenna, the dynamic winger who dominated the college ranks this season.
While Swedish phenom Ivar Stenberg remains in the conversation, the consensus among league scouts points to McKenna as the franchise-altering talent capable of stepping into a top-six NHL role sooner rather than later.
Behind Toronto, a hungry tier of rebuilding franchises is poised to shape the first round, including the Sharks, Canucks, Blackhawks and Rangers.
Follow along right here for a complete list of selections from the 2026 NHL Draft.
