2026 7-Round Mock Draft 2.0

[Dahlicious]

This is usually a three-week commitment that requires you to check the thread almost daily. Do not sign up if you cannot commit to this. Two auto's and you will be relieved of your duties as GM.

We will use the authentic draft order based on points percentage as of 8 March 2026.

PHASE ONE: 2026 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
We will have a 7-round 2026 NHL Entry Draft.

Picks: The draft clock will run from 8 a.m. to Midnight ET. Each pick will be 4-hours long. Once time is up on a pick, anyone can auto the pick. We auto 3 North Americans, then 1 European, from NHL Central Scouting's Midterm Rankings list. Goaltenders are NOT auto'd. Before any more picks are made, the GM can change the auto pick and not be charged with an auto. However, all auto picks are final once the next pick is made. No exceptions.

NOTE: All teams must have a minimum of FOUR and a maximum of TWELVE picks in any draft. The ONLY exception to this rule is if a real-life team currently holds fewer than four or more than twelve.

PHASE TWO: FREE AGENT FRENZY
Once all teams have a GM, you may make offers on your own pending UFAs. HOWEVER, under no circumstances can pending UFAs be traded, even if they choose to re-sign with you prior to Free Agency.

The Salary Cap will have a ceiling of $104M and a floor of $76.9M.

NOTE: No trade can involve more than FIVE pieces on a side, or EIGHT pieces total. Also, if any player gets traded who absolutely wouldn't be (i.e. McDavid), the deal also gets vetoed automatically. Either GM can post the trade on the thread, but I need the other to confirm it. If the trade is borderline veto-worthy, PLEASE seek my approval first.

Traded picks are limited to 2026, 2027, and 2028.

Rosters: Please post your initial roster, and post an updated version when a trade is made. Always include Cap status. Rosters listed without scratches (since that would never happen) are not allowed.

After you pick, please TAG AND PM the next GM to notify them! And POST THIS WITH YOUR PICK!!! If you cannot PM for whatever reason (i.e. on a phone), ASK SOMEONE TO PM in your post.

Please, do not announce trades until all teams have a GM.

• Not interested in talking McAvoy, Pasta, Hagens, or Minten.
• Geekie & Kastelic not quite in that tier.
• Everyone else available. Young wingers Khusnutdinov and Mittelstat, the Lindholm brothers, versatile Zacha, the aforementioned Geekie. Prospeects William Moore, Fabian Lysell, Olympian Dans Locomelis, and all picks are also available.
• I'd explore moving BOS 1st '26 in the acquisition of a good young player.
• The Lindholm bros available in a brotherly love deal.
• I'd like to change the makeup of my RHD. A top-4 RHD, and even looking at RHD prospects
• Enamoured with the truculence in the bottom-6 but if there was interest in Jeannot I'd like to talk.
• I'd like to move Korpisalo.

[Dahlicious]

I will be doing UFAs a bit differently this time. I will, from time to time, message a GM about their pending UFAs who are interested in staying. These players might re-sign before the draft is over and therefore before the UFA period. They cannot be traded if they sign.

This is usually a three-week commitment that requires you to check the thread almost daily. Do not sign up if you cannot commit to this. Two auto's and you will be relieved of your duties as GM.

We will use the authentic draft order based on points percentage as of 8 March 2026.

PHASE ONE: 2026 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
We will have a 7-round 2026 NHL Entry Draft.

Picks: The draft clock will run from 8 a.m. to Midnight ET. Each pick will be 4-hours long. Once time is up on a pick, anyone can auto the pick. We auto 3 North Americans, then 1 European, from NHL Central Scouting's Midterm Rankings list. Goaltenders are NOT auto'd. Before any more picks are made, the GM can change the auto pick and not be charged with an auto. However, all auto picks are final once the next pick is made. No exceptions.

NOTE: All teams must have a minimum of FOUR and a maximum of TWELVE picks in any draft. The ONLY exception to this rule is if a real-life team currently holds fewer than four or more than twelve.

PHASE TWO: FREE AGENT FRENZY
Once all teams have a GM, you may make offers on your own pending UFAs. HOWEVER, under no circumstances can pending UFAs be traded, even if they choose to re-sign with you prior to Free Agency.

The Salary Cap will have a ceiling of $104M and a floor of $76.9M.

NOTE: No trade can involve more than FIVE pieces on a side, or EIGHT pieces total. Also, if any player gets traded who absolutely wouldn't be (i.e. McDavid), the deal also gets vetoed automatically. Either GM can post the trade on the thread, but I need the other to confirm it. If the trade is borderline veto-worthy, PLEASE seek my approval first.

Traded picks are limited to 2026, 2027, and 2028.

Rosters: Please post your initial roster, and post an updated version when a trade is made. Always include Cap status. Rosters listed without scratches (since that would never happen) are not allowed.

After you pick, please TAG AND PM the next GM to notify them! And POST THIS WITH YOUR PICK!!! If you cannot PM for whatever reason (i.e. on a phone), ASK SOMEONE TO PM in your post.

Please, do not announce trades until all teams have a GM.

[Strawberry Fields]

Had rosters/salaries prepped and ready to post in a Google Sheets doc right as the site crapped out yesterday afternoon. I'm at work now so I'll have those up later this afternoon or early evening.

Of the "big" names I'm most inclined to move Parayko and Binnington but Kyrou and Thomas could be had for the right price.
