What this draft-order hub answers
Hockey Insights Draft is built around the public 2026 NHL Draft board: which team owns each pick, which source is being shown, and which prospect context sits behind a projected selection. The draft-order page starts with Round 1 because that is where most source disagreement is visible, then keeps every later pick available so trade-acquired selections and full-board depth are still readable. Player drawers use local JSON only and show overview, ranks, regular seasons, playoff or event rows, and draft/team context — all drawn from the same public data as the rest of the site.
Source selection
The public picker includes consensus, verified public mock/ranking supplements, April-or-newer public boards, and NHL Central Scouting final lists. Source chips show author, date, count, link, and inclusion rationale so a user can tell whether they are reading a mock draft, a ranking, or the local consensus view.

Reference boundaries
Draft order and pick movement are reconciled from local NHL/PuckPedia-derived pick caches and public order references. Prospect ranks and stat rows are local exports. Current source boundaries, freshness stamps, and caveats are maintained on About Data.
External reference points include NHL Draft coverage, PuckPedia, EliteProspects, and public mock/ranking source links shown in the picker.
