NHL To Bring Back Decentralized Draft? And Where's Next Year's Schedule?

NHL To Bring Back Decentralized Draft? And Where's Next Year's Schedule?

The NHL enters full offseason mode but there's still plenty to talk about. It appears the league will vote to once again have a decentralized NHL Draft in 2026 despite the feeling that so much was missing from the event this season. We discuss why and what the league can do to make the event better for fans both in person and watching the even on television.

Plus, the NHL schedule is still not released and we are two weeks behind last year's schedule release. We discuss the reason for the delay, how it affects the teams and the fans and what happens next.

And if we have your summer hockey fix, from Da |Beauty League to a Russian exhibition of KHL vs NHL players and the World Juniors Summer Showcase. We break all that down and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
