So much more than just the draft happened on Friday, but we’ll start with the draft anyway.

That was also the case for the San Jose Sharks selecting Ivar Stenberg second overall, especially with the Sharks [...]
The St. Louis Blues have acquired forward Mason McTavish from the Anaheim Ducks for two first-round picks (#15 – Nikita Klepov, #29 – later traded to Vegas with the #117 pick for the #28 pick, which Anaheim used to select Marcus Nordmark) in the 2026 draft. McTavish was unable to build on his career high [...]

From the trades and coaching hires from the past week, let’s evaluate the fantasy stock of certain impacted players. One caveat: It might be better to wait until the dust settles on activity to completely evaluate offseason moves. In my experience, if a team makes a real head-scratching move or one that leaves more questions [...]
