Teams are getting ready for the first round of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, which will be held tonight at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The Dallas Stars do not have a first round pick this year, thanks to the Mikko Rantanen trade, but that hasn’t stopped them being in all the headlines as their RFA contract negotiations with Jason Robertson continue to dominate the NHL news cycle. On Thursday, reports emerged that the Stars had granted the Seattle Kraken permission to speak with Robertson’s representatives, only for a massive 8-year, $120 million contract offer ($15 million AAV) to be rejected, reportedly. On today’s show, we will get into all the juicy gossip and get you ready for the draft tonight.
