The Anaheim Ducks‘ 2022 NHL Draft class received high marks after management addressed some needs, notably on defense, and built on what has become an impressive prospect pool.

Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney’s first National Hockey League Entry Draft was one for the ages. Just over one month after the former Boston defenseman got the job, he was at the helm of a draft that included six picks in the first two rounds, with three consecutive selections in the first round alone.
The 2023 NHL Draft has widely been regarded as a deep draft at the forward position. There’s plenty of talent up front with Connor Bedard, Adam Fantilli, Leo Carlsson, and more. But there seem to be two prospects that might be getting overshadowed by that attention, Matthew Wood and Gabe Perreault. Both put up very
The New York Islanders have a few options for the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Ideally, they target forwards with their second- and fourth-round selections to add a spark to the offense. If a great defense prospect falls to them, they can target defensemen with the hopes of adding a youthful presence to their unit. Related:
Detroit has only selected one winger (Lucas Raymond) with a first round pick in the last four drafts, taking two defenders, one center, and a goalie with the other picks. The Red Wings showed this year that they need help scoring, with Dylan Larkin doing his best to carry the team on offense. Only two

The 2023 NHL Combine is now completed. In all, around 100 of the top prospects for the 2023 NHL Draft in Nashville completed their fitness testing. Top prospects Adam Fantilli and Leo Carlsson elected not to participate in the fitness testing on Saturday. Both players just competed in the World Championships with Carlsson admitting he
The odds seemed to be stacked against the New York Rangers going into the 2013 NHL Draft. Team executives had the luxury of staying close to home that year, with the league’s 51st edition of the draft being held at the Prudential Center, home of the area-rival New Jersey Devils. That, however, appeared to be
The Vancouver Canucks don’t have a second-round pick this year – again – as they traded it away to the Detroit Red Wings for Filip Hronek. Last year was the same story, having traded it to the Arizona Coyotes in the now-infamous Oliver Ekman-Larsson deal. As was the case last season at around this time,
The Buffalo Sabres are in a really good position heading into this year’s NHL Entry Draft.

Now that the Vancouver Canucks officially hold the 11th overall pick at the 2023 NHL Draft, we can really dive into who they could be targeting in the first round on June 28. The only other time they held the 11th pick was way back in 1982 when they drafted Michel Petit. He went on to have
