## Resource

The first round of the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft is in the books, and co-hosts Adam Kimelman and Mike G. Morreale cover all aspects.

Adam and Mike also discuss some other highlights of the draft, including Liam Ruck to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ilia Morozov calling his shot with the Sabres and much more.
