The 2026 Scouching Community Mock Draft registration is now open to all subscribers over at https://t.co/hbS4lMhyAJ. 3 rounds, everyone gets 3 picks, and it's always a hoot.
June 22, 8PM ET. Any open spots will be filled by the public at a later date!
Some new ranking lists have dropped for the 2026 NHL Draft and here's the landscape as my tracker sees it.
If you can't tell, it's going to be a hoot. Everyone is all over the place.
@jtsabres@IannelloLa64061@Joe_McCoy12@Matt_Bove Yes, as a 3/4C on a potential contender.
Again, I'm not arguing he isn't a good player. He went right where I had him ranked and he's playing how he's always played. Smart, efficient, and paired with Doan, Benson, and Ostlund are all great matchups for him.
@jtsabres@IannelloLa64061@Joe_McCoy12@Matt_Bove In all seriousness, his ES data trails his PP data which lines up with my experience of him. I don't value PP much.
He's sub-50% on ES goal differential, and under 20% primary point involvement at ES. There's more, but I don't want to come off like I don't think he's a good one.
@IannelloLa64061@Joe_McCoy12@Matt_Bove Largely I still feel the same as I did. High certainty that he was an NHLer with more than enough smarts. Middle six C always made sense, but a 3C on a contender is still my read.
One of the best things to come out of my experience in the industry of professional hockey is getting to meet people like @Scouching (past and future guest on All The Kings Men)

Who could be some other defensive targets for the #SJSharks in the first round? @Scouching joins!
🦈 Malte Gustafsson is your favorite public scout's defenseman
🦈 Juho Piiparinen is about as solid a defenseman you can find

Another update to https://t.co/5AyYaPDyDQ today:
Built out the trade engine further to allow multiple combinations of pick offers from opposing teams, so you can toggle around and look for fewer better picks, more worse picks etc.
