The 2026 NHL Draft is officially in the books, and it was a wild ride! From massive pre-draft trades to first-round shockers and a deep Day 2, the landscape of the league has shifted. In this video, we’re breaking down the Elite Prospects 2026 NHL Draft Grades to see which teams came out on top—and which ones left fans scratching their heads.
We take a deep dive into the Vancouver Canucks’ draft class, which earned a massive A+ grade. With a focus on overall value and draft capital, we analyze why picks like Caleb Malhotra and Adam Novotný could be game-changers for the franchise. Is this the talent injection the Canucks desperately needed?
In this episode, we discuss:
