Introducing puckempire's first 2026 NHL draft rankings. The only other one that I'll be releasing is in June just before the draft. Tossed and turned between a lot of these guys rankings, the first-round is very close. NOTE: I'm not a scout and don't claim to be. All personal opinions based on what I've watched, this is not a professional scouting opinion. That being said, thoughts? Minor Edit: My #171 pick, Arsienii Voroteliak is two days younger than the eligibility date, so not eligible until 2027.
