NHL Draft Tracker 2026: Full Results, List of Picks From Rounds 1-7 originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The 2026 NHL Entry Draft wrapped up on Saturday in Buffalo as the league officially welcomed its next generation of stars. The two-day event kicked off with a prime-time first round on Friday night at KeyBank Center — making Buffalo the first city to host the draft in its new decentralized format — before concluding with Rounds 2 through 7 on Saturday afternoon.
Leading the class was exceptional-status forward Gavin McKenna, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs, followed by Anton Stenberg to the San Jose Sharks at No. 2 and Caleb Malhotra to the Vancouver Canucks at No. 3.
On Saturday afternoon, Rounds 2 through 7 of the draft came and went in Buffalo, with 192 players selected through the afternoon. Whether international players, ones in the American leagues, or amateurs prepping for the collegiate level, teams picked up valuable pieces to add to their prospect pools.
One of the most fascinating storylines of the weekend came from the Pittsburgh Penguins, who kept an incredible family dream alive by drafting twin brothers Liam and Markus Ruck. GM Kyle Dubas selected Liam, a goal-scoring winger, at No. 22 overall on Friday, before calling his twin brother and elite playmaker, Markus, at No. 39 on Saturday. The dynamic duo finished top-two in WHL scoring with Medicine Hat last season and will now head to the pros together.
But the draft wasn’t just about picks. There were some major trades.
The Boston Bruins traded the No. 23 overall pick and a 2028 first-round pick (top-10 protected) to acquire winger JJ Peterka from the Utah Mammoth. Around the NHL, the New York Rangers acquired Pavel Dorofeyev, the St. Louis Blues traded for Mason McTavish, and the Carolina Hurricanes picked up the rights to John Carlson.
As eyes shift towards free agency on July 1, franchises will walk away from the KeyBank Center pleased with how they bolstered their futures. Soon enough, some of these players will be the future of the NHL.

After reports emerged that the Los Angeles Lakers are planning to offer Mitchell Robinson a long-term contract with an annual salary of roughly $15 million, CBS Sports’ Sam Quinn opposed the notion. Quinn believes it’s a “bad idea” unless Los Angeles views Robinson as a backup center.
The Lakers have limited resources, and if they invest in Robinson at that price, given his injury history, it might impact their flexibility.
“I just continue to believe this is a bad idea for the Lakers unless they’re getting him to be a backup,” Quinn wrote on X on Friday, reacting to insider Brett Siegel’s report. “You cannot rely on Mitch to handle a starter’s workload. They have such limited resources and would need so much more from him than the Knicks did.”
Since the 2022-23 season, Robinson has struggled with multiple injury issues. He played 59 games that year, 31 in the 2023-24 season and 17 in the 2024-25 season. Robinson revived himself by playing 60 games last year. However, he averaged a career-low 19.6 minutes per game.
The Knicks had All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns as their primary option at five. The Lakers don’t have one, and if Robinson is their best acquisition in that position, it’s a risky move. Robinson’s body handled 60 games after logging fewer than 20 minutes a night, which is way less than what a starter would average on a contender.

Enjoying the glitz and glamour of being drafted and taking part in the introductory press conference, Otega Oweh understands he's still a ways away from actually establishing himself in the NBA. Sure, celebrate being taken with the No. 41 pick of the 2026 NBA draft. But the 23-year-old knows he has to show promise from the jump.
Oweh has hurdled through quite the obstacles to reach this point. He played four collegiate years from 2022-26. His first two years were pretty forgettable at Oklahoma. Entering the transfer portal, he made the risky move to Kentucky for his latter two years.
The move obviously paid off. Oweh went from struggling to get playing time at Oklahoma to being the best player in a blueblood program by the time his senior year rolled around. He averaged 18.6 points on 46.5% shooting, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 **** ists this past season with the Wildcats.
The breakout year helped him gain buzz as an NBA draft prospect. The Thunder eventually added him with the No. 41 pick — which they acquired in a trade-back with the Miami Heat as they moved back four spots from No. 37.
After a couple of days of well-earned enjoyment of the milestone with his friends and family, Oweh is ready to hit the ground running. We don't know his contract status yet, but odds are, it'll be a two-way deal. Which means he'll be limited to 50 NBA games where he's active. So expect him to be with the G League's OKC Blue most of his rookie year.

Greg Abel's first quarterly report as Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) CEO came with a number that's hard to look past. The conglomerate ended the first quarter of 2026 with a record $397 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term Treasury bills -- up from around $373 billion at the end of 2025, and equal to more than a third of the company's market value.
A pile that size invites a dramatic reading: that Warren Buffett and Abel are bracing for a crash. But that may read too much into it. The cash is less a market call than the result of a simpler problem. At today's prices, Berkshire continues to struggle to find much worth buying.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The balance didn't swell in a single quarter. Berkshire has been a net seller of stocks for more than a dozen quarters in a row, parting with well over $150 billion more in equities than it has bought since late 2022.
In the first quarter of 2026 specifically, Berkshire sold about $8 billion more stock than it purchased. Money that leaves the equity portfolio and isn't put into a new investment generally lands in Treasury bills, where it earns a decent yield while it waits.

As promised, we’ve got the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week, so let’s take a look at what everyone thought about this week’s question, shall we?
We asked all of you out there whether or not you thought the great Harrison Smith would be returning to the Minnesota Vikings for a fifteenth season. Overall, the overwhelming majority of folks believe that he will be, though there is a bit of dissension on when that return is going to come.
Overall, of those who responded to our poll, only 18% of you think that we’ve seen the last of the Hitman in a Vikings uniform. So, that means 82% of our respondents think that Harrison Smith is coming back.
So, it’s a matter of whether folks think Smith is going to come back before or after training camp. Of those who answered our poll question, 41% believe that he’s going to wait until after camp is over to make his return to the team, while 33% believe that the team will know his choice before camp starts here in about a month. The other 8% of our respondents believe that we’re going to see a mid-season return for #22 .
Honestly, at this point, I think Smith has earned the right to miss training camp if that’s what he feels like doing. He knows the defense inside and out, and I’m sure he’s going to be taking care of himself physically to the point he doesn’t need to put himself through the extra strain that training camp would present. The team has already made it clear that he would be welcomed back if he decided to return, so if that’s the way things are going to play out, it wouldn’t be all that surprising.

The team has already made it clear that he would be welcomed back if he decided to return, so if that’s the way things are going to play out, it wouldn’t be all that surprising.

Justin Marks has spent the last several years transforming Trackhouse Entertainment Group into one of NASCAR’s fastest-growing organizations. Now, that vision appears to be expanding again, this time with plans for what could become one of the company’s biggest investments away from the race track.
Since purchasing Chip Ganassi Racing’s NASCAR operation ahead of the 2022 season, Marks has steadily expanded the company beyond a traditional Cup Series team. Trackhouse has launched the international Project91 program, entered MotoGP ownership, created a music label, and continued investing in its NASCAR operation.
Now, another major project appears to be taking shape.
According to public records first reported by the Charlotte Business Journal, Trackhouse Entertainment Group is planning a new race team facility in Kannapolis, North Carolina. The Kannapolis City Council recently approved an annexation request covering roughly 20 acres along Davidson Highway, representing one of the first formal steps toward development.
While no construction timeline has been announced, the proposal signals Trackhouse’s intention to continue investing in its long-term infrastructure.

On June 17, the Federal Reserve held its fourth Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the year. It was also the first Fed meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, who was nominated by President Trump and succeeded Jerome Powell on May 22.
The Fed kept the benchmark rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%, which probably didn't surprise many investors, given that inflation hit a three-year high of 4.2% in May. But Warsh also broke with his predecessors, halting the Fed's forward guidance on the economy and refusing to submit his own interest rate projections.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The Fed also shortened its official statement and explicitly removed any references to "easing bias" -- which strongly suggests that interest rate cuts (monetary easing) would be off the table for the foreseeable future. Let's see what that shift might mean for the broader market.
The Fed aims to keep inflation at around 2%. When inflation exceeds the target, the Fed usually raises rates to temporarily throttle economic growth and reduce inflation. Once inflation cools, the Fed will reduce rates again to spur fresh lending and economic growth.

Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ:VICR) is one of the best electrical equipment stocks to buy according to **** ysts.
On June 22, Needham maintained a Buy rating on the stock and raised its price target to $400 from $350 after Vicor's 2026 annual meeting. The note pointed to a larger long-term financial model, with management lifting its revenue target to $2.5 billion from a prior $1.0 billion, alongside 70% gross margin and 40% operating income targets. The rating is relevant to the electrical equipment theme because Vicor's growth case is tied to high-density power conversion, a bottleneck area as AI systems and advanced computing platforms draw more power at the rack and board level.
Needham also highlighted an improved second-generation VPD solution expected to sample to Cerebras in the first quarter of 2027, as well as possible second-generation VPD design wins with existing licensees that could ramp in late 2027, upside to licensing and royalty revenue, and progress toward a second ChiP fab.

Verizon joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2004, when AT&T was removed and the index needed a new telecommunications name. It held that seat for 22 years. S&P Dow Jones Indices revealed on June 23 that the seat now belongs to someone else.
Alphabet (GOOGL) will replace Verizon Communications (VZ) in the 30-stock index before the market opens on June 29, CNBC reported. Alphabet's stock climbed about 1% to around $350 on the announcement. Verizon fell about 2% to around $45.
The Dow is a price-weighted index. A stock's nominal share price determines how much it moves the benchmark, not its market capitalization. Verizon at around $45 per share accounted for just 0.5% of the Dow's total weight, a figure S&P Dow Jones Indices cited directly in its announcement.
S&P Dow Jones Indices also said directly that "persistently lower-priced stocks have an immaterial impact on the index." Verizon at $45 a share was one of those stocks.

PHOENIX (AP) — A polygamous sect leader already serving a 50-year federal prison sentence for orchestrating ****** involving children was convicted Friday on state child abuse charges after girls were found in an unventilated trailer he was hauling through Arizona.
Someone alerted authorities about the trailer in August 2022 after seeing small fingers reaching through gaps in the doors. Police stopped Samuel Bateman's vehicle as he was driving through Flagstaff and found three girls inside, who were ages 11 to 14 at the time. The trailer was enclosed with a makeshift toilet, a sofa and camping chairs.
In the federal case, Bateman was convicted of coercing girls as young as 9 to submit to ****** acts with him and other young adults, and for scheming to kidnap girls from protective custody, the story of which is the focus of a Netflix series, "Trust Me: The False Prophet."
Bateman previously claimed to have more than 20 "spiritual wives," including 10 girls under the age of 18. He testified in his own defense in the state case, telling jurors he would never harm the people he loves. He acknowledged during cross-examination that he knew the girls were in a hot trailer for hours and the ventilation wasn't good, but downplayed the conditions.
"I just trusted myself as a driver," he said. "I asked God to bless me every time we hopped in that vehicle."
