2026 Elimination Evals

Making the Case NHL Draft 2026
Making The Case: Ethan Belchetz
Belchetz has 40-goal upside and checks every box the Rangers prioritize. But a broken clavicle and a defense-heavy draft class would make using the fifth pick on him a real gamble.

2026 Elimination Evals
2026 Elimination Eval: Buffalo Sabres
