## Resource

The 2026 NHL draft right wing class is exploding with elite talent, led by Sweden’s Elton Hermansson, who dominated the U18 World Championship with 12 points and gold-medal glory. Also rising fast: Nikita Klepov, the OHL’s top scorer (97 points) and first American-born rookie to hit that mark since Patrick Kane, heading to Michigan State. Casey Mutryn, USA U18 captain and power-play specialist, is a potential first-round steal—his brother Teddy is already a Sharks prospect. Other standouts include Liam Ruck (WHL scoring champ), Mathis Preston (speed and playmaking despite injury), Simas Ignatavicius (Swiss rookie of the year), Jaxon Cover (inline-to-pro transition), Gleb Pugachyov (size + skill), Rian Chudzinski (playoff hero), and Vilho Vanhatalo (already playing pro in Finland). This is shaping up to be one of the deepest, most exciting right wing drafts in years. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
