The 2026 Draft is beginning to crystallize with distinct tiers, but no player has entrenched themselves at #1 as Gavin McKenna has stumbled a bit out of the gate, overwhelmed by the pace and physicality of college hockey. We had a lengthy debate at Elite Prospects before keeping him in that slot, here are the 7 players with at least an argument to steal it away. We begin by breaking down McKenna's game alongside contending wingers Ivar Stenberg and Ethan Belchetz. Next, we move on to a pair of big right-shot defencemen in Chase Reid and Keaton Verhoeff. Finally, we have 3 wild card who could surprise as they represent unique players in this draft: the top centre in Tynan Lawrence, the most dynamic offensive defenceman in Xavier Villeneuve, and a two-way locomotive LD in Carson Carels. Elite Prospects Ranking Article: https://www.eliteprospects.com/news/2026-nhl-draft/elite-prospects-november-top-50-2026-nhl-draft-ranking Recorded Ranking Meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb0KWswFRNg Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter  Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian  📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods  📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! DripDrop Right now, DripDrop is offering podcast listeners 20% off your first order.Go to https://dripdrop.com and use promo code LOCKEDONNHL. Indeed Now, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The month of October saw a trio of USHL rookies driving offence at a rate unexpected for 16-year-olds in this league. James Scantlebury highlights the group with a blend of breakneck pace, two-way details, and non-stop dynamism with the puck on his stick. Jake Prunty's 11 assists in his first 7 games from the blueline is absurd production, but his activation skill and slippery play have made him near impossible to pin down. Michael Tang, Brent Solomon (Detroit), and Blake Zielinski round out the players on today's show, but we wrap it up by highlighting the NTDP's mighty struggles, winning but a single game in all of October.

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to shock the entire NHL with their hot start to the year. In this show, we break down what has made them tick and where they may face regression, from Malkin turning back time to his prime years to reliable goaltending from Silovs and Jarry.

Finally, we highlight the stars of the AHL and the system, by shouting out Ville Koivunen, Owen Pickering, Sergei Murashov, Will Horcoff, and Bill Zonnon. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter  Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian  📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods  📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
