We're closing in on the #2026WHLDraft, so here's a quick look at the early projected first overall pick, Madden Daneault. Daneault is a right-shot center who does it all— from driving play, finding passing seams, to releasing a wicked snapshot in motion. Highlights:

17-åriga Elton Hermansson debuterar ikväll. Nummer? 17. #modose

First came the skaters, now it's time for the Top 20 ranked NHL-affiliated goalies 🔥 ✍️: Sean Shapiro, Hadi Kalakeche & Jacob 🔗: eliteprospects.com/news/nhl-prosp…

David St-Louis Mitchell Brown Only one of the 28th-ranked Vegas Golden Knights' eight first-round picks still remain within the organization, but Trevor Connelly tops the list in their prospect pool 👀 ✍️: Mitchell Brown 🔗: eliteprospects.com/news/prospect-…

Glad to see Jacopo De Luca here. I think the QMJHL could be a great fit for him, I'm excited to see how he develops over the course of the year.

(#2026NHLDraft) William Håkansson is slotted in as 1RD for Luleå’s CHL opener against EV Zug. A big test for him, Zug plays fast and with pace, will certainly challenge his rush defense all game long.

(#2026NHLDraft) Elton Hermansson has been all over the place this preseason, 3RW, 1RW, and now 13F. MoDo is clearly giving him a look, and he has every opportunity to earn an opening night roster spot.

(#2026NHLDraft) Ivar Stenberg is getting his CHL debut against HC Bolzano. He's getting a strong look on the 3rd line with #LetsGoFlyers Max Westergård.

Nicklas Lidstrom on #2026nhldraft Viggo Björck "I see that he is a good skater, his eyes are up. Strong in skating also for being as young as he is. You can see that he has good balance. Strong in skating. He looks up all the time, scans the ice. A good, incredibly good player"

Small update: I’ll be going back to my DobberProspects roots, switching my crossover region from Central Europe to Sweden. I’m extremely excited about this, Sweden has been a ton of fun to follow ever since Hadi Kalakeche and Sebastian High gave me a shot in 2024.

(#2027NHLDraft) Jonah Neuenschwander has signed a full player contract with Biel through 2027, moving on from his junior deal. It’s a strong sign the team expects him to be a full-time roster player at the men’s level.
