2026 NHL Offseason Thread: Major trade makes it easier to record podcasts for Tkachuk brothers

33 on Pronman’s list

Hoen missed most of the season due to a torn knee ligament, but when healthy, he’s been great at the Swedish junior level and got some SHL time. He's a tall, fast winger with a great shot. His game lacks east-west playmaking, but he has good hands and can beat opponents with skill. He works hard enough, although he's not overly physical. Lagerberg projects as a middle-six winger due to his great combination of traits, and if healthy, there’s intriguing upside to be a legit scorer at the next level.

Hurlbert was 20 on Wheeler’s list and 18 on Pronman’s.

Lagerberg is a great name

The second round started

The PNES got the other Ruck twin

The Devils got Vanhanen, who seemed like a good option.

Hakansson still around with the Wings five picks off

[neuartillery]

Wings have their choice of big bodied, unspectacular Swedish defensemen with Hakansson and Gudmondsson

[neuartillery]

Or they get Victor Plante and complete the Plante brothers set

[neuartillery]

The Canes take Hakansson which makes me think the Wings should’ve taken Hakansson

[neuartillery]

We have our first NHL-caliber trade of the day, with the Maple Leafs flipping Carlo to St. Louis for two third-rounders.

Asset management!

[neuartillery]

Calgary drafts Iginla to start the third

Wings have their choice of big bodied, unspectacular Swedish defensemen with Hakansson and Gudmondsson

The Leaves took Gudmondsson at 76

[neuartillery]

Aaaand the Wings take a goalie

[neuartillery]

6’4”, Czech, great stats in the WHL for Prince Albert

Woo! Elliot Lennon drafted by the SNES played against my kid growing up.

[neuartillery]

Time to rag your kid about not getting drafted

[neuartillery]

A buddy of mine in Boston played against Brian Gionta and I think Erik Cole growing up

[Alexei Ca$hin]

And now Alex Taillefer to Jets. Will be very interesting to see how many of the top Q 2008s get picked in the late rounds.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

I played against Marty Turco in the Soo! My friend's Dad was his coach and it was before he was a full time goalie, lol.

[neuartillery]

Was he an asshole playing out? I feel like every goalie I’ve encountered playing out just wants to commit penalties.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

I want to guess that we were 7 or 8 years old? I can't remember shit

[neuartillery]

I get that you don’t want to call a seven-year-old an asshole but I have no such qualms

[practice]

Sounds like the Leafs took some interesting dmen including the then-undrafted / now-overage guy who was on the last Canada WJC team
