2026 draft results
2026 NHL Draft results: all 223 picks.
The 2026 NHL Draft (June 26-27, 2026) is complete: Gavin McKenna went No. 1 overall to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Picks run No. 1 through No. 224: Vegas Golden Knights forfeited No. 63 as a league penalty, so no player was selected at that slot. Below are all 223 selections across the seven rounds, each linked to the player's profile and the drafting team's page.
Biggest slides: the value picks
Selections that came off the board well after their spot on the final pre-draft consensus top 100. A positive delta is how many slots the player slid past the public consensus before a team stopped the fall.

| #208 | Logan Stuart | Washington Capitals | #89 | +119 |
| #171 | Lars Steiner | St. Louis Blues | #63 | +108 |
