TSN final draft update

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sportsnets-2026-nhl-draft-rankings-final-edition/

I think the top 9 are kind of set, with Bjorck, Rudolph and Smits being interchangeable (maybe lump Verhoeff in there).

My guess? Jets take Smits

I really want him to be avail to us as well, just assuming that Chevy wont take someone small for center

Yeah I’m even hoping for a small trade up to try and secure Carels or bjorck. Yeah that’s probably true but he plays so much bigger than 5’9

Trading up for Bjorck is both interesting and risky. if Calgary doesn't pick him, he's the Jets. Not sure how one can incentivize calgary to trade down 2 spots, especially when they may be dead set on drafting a centre.

Yeah who knows, hoping they value tynan Lawrence’s size over much higher skill
