Teams make lists. The public makes rankings. They serve different purposes. Players will go lower and higher for various reasons. After model tinkering, fitness testing, viewings and intel, my final 2026 Draft Ranking for ESPN has arrived

- This has potential to be the most haunting photo in Toronto sports history.
- Replying to @Hockey_RobinsonGood on you for asking the appropriate follow up, Cam. Solicited a pretty good answer.
- All of the good the NHL teams have done with hockey fights cancer, indigenous nights in Canada, pride, etc. is being ruined to cater to bigoted players, execs & fans. Stop protecting them. They don’t want to take part in inclusive initiatives? Answer for it. Defend your position.From NHL Board of Governors: teams will not wear specialty jerseys in warmups next season. Also: Cap, Ottawa, Arizona and other topics. With Commissioner Gary Bettman here — sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/bett…
- This is your reminder that Patrice Bergeron & the Bruins leadership stood up to Bruins management about Mitchell Miller. It has been done before. All this tells us is every Vegas player is either too spineless to say something or completely devoid of character."Exciting, good goalie, excited to welcome him to the culture of the Golden Knights." -Mark Stone on Carter Hart Stone says the players were all asked about it and they were all happy to welcome him into the family.
- Failing to acknowledge a player's trade protections cost the Sens more draft capital than it cost the Chicago Blackhawks for covering up sexual assault before recommending said offender for a job working with teenagers. That is really tough to square. Super harsh on Ottawa.The #sens have been docked a first-round draft pick by the NHL as punishment for their handling of the July 2021 Evgenii Dadonov trade with Vegas. Ottawa will give up its first-rounder in 2024, 2025 or 2026.
- I don’t care how much money it takes, sign Bo Bichette.
- The look on William Nylander’s face before the puck crosses the line being a full blown grin is awesome. What a photo! It is quintessentially Nylander.
- I'll wear it. I was wrong on Babcock. Good on Biz for speaking up. I hope he carries that same energy to other parts of toxic hockey culture because he can have a positive impact.
- Eric Staal wore the Pride jersey in 2021…interesting. It would seem Provorov gave license to others and that’s where we are now.
00:00 - I’m sorry, but a 6-point deduction when players had no knowledge and punishments for racism, homophobia and corruption are no where near is excessive. I understand fining and suspending involved coaches, but punishing the players to this extent is excessive. Fire Bev, NOW.
- I’ll wait to pass judgement but Grant Wahl was reporting on the ugly side of the World Cup in Qatar and has mysteriously passed away while there. That is far too suspicious. Thoughts to his family. Just terrible.Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added contextGrant Wahl wrote that he had visited a hospital while in Qatar earlier in the week for upper chest pain after battling a cold for 10 days. espn.com/espn/story/_/i… grantwahl.substack.com/p/world-cup-da…
- If you are going to Game 6 on Friday…start a chant for Trey Yesavage so he comes out for a deserved curtain call. He deserves that kind of ovation and appreciation from the Blue Jays faithful.
