Summary
The NHL draft buzz heats up as PuckPedia’s 1,600+ mock drafts confirm Gavin McKenna as the top pick and Ivar Stenberg right behind him—no shockers there. But the real intrigue? Calgary Flames eyeing hometown hero Keaton Verhoeff at No. 2, a solid freshman standout with U18 captaincy and World Juniors bronze. With their recent trade for defenseman Simon Nemec, GM Craig Conroy may pivot toward forwards like Viggo Björck or Wyatt Cullen. For a rebuilding Flames squad hungry for playoff contention, this draft could be pivotal—even if the impact isn’t instant. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
