The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

Mckenna-Matthews-Cowan
Knies-Tavares-Nylander
Maccelli-Xxxx-xxxx

Trade Domi, Joshua. Find some cheap nerds to fill those slots. 4th line can be whatever.

Then just light the d on fire other than maybe McCabe and start all over. Spend your available $$$ there.

Throw Maccelli in the trash with his more undisciplined twin brother Domi. Keep Robertson and Lorentz, and fill four spots.

I'm actually okay with Joshua sticking around for another year.

Oh yeah. Sure keep one of Maccelli, Domi or Robertson. All the same.

2026 NHL Draft Lottery takeaways: Gavin McKenna’s readiness, Caleb Malhotra’s ascent and more

Here’s everything Scott Wheeler is thinking about and hearing after Tuesday night's NHL Draft Lottery.

A new Core Four in Toronto?
You almost have to laugh.

On Monday, the Toronto Maple Leafs were introducing two new heads of their hockey operations in a testy and uncomfortable news conference, and inheriting the potential loss of a No. 6 or No. 7 pick in this year’s draft to the Bruins as part of the previous regime’s decision-making. Now they’re sitting atop the draft.

After news broke on Tuesday evening that McKenna will not, in the end, play for Canada at men’s worlds, his draft year is officially over.

McKenna remains, through a tumultuous year of his own, the likely choice at No. 1. And while there was a time when his camp was at least considering a return to college for his sophomore year, that was months ago, and the expectation now is that he’s going to sign his entry-level contract and play in the NHL next year. He’s not entirely ready. Physically. From a maturity/habits/details/defensive standpoint. It’s going to be hard for him on the ice, and he’s going to have to go through it in the league’s highest-pressure market right now if he’s the pick. But you’ll see the talent shine through right away, and he would give the Leafs a dynamic playmaking winger and immediate power-play upgrade.

I think it’ll be McKenna, and he’s my first-ranked prospect in the draft still, too.
