Caleb Malhotra is one of the top prospects in the 2026 NHL Draft class.
This week at the NHL Draft Combine, though, Malhotra didn't have dinner with any teams. The team-player dinners are a way that franchises express interest, and a way they get to know more about the player.
Despite that, Malhotra didn't go out to eat with any teams -- including those like the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks at Nos. 2 and 3 who might consider drafting him.
Of course, there's more to the Canucks than just the team drafting third.
