They will draft fourth overall, and Vancouver got enough points after they were eliminated in the Gold draft plan to draft first overall. What comes next for the Sceptres is up in the air as more expansion is rumoured meaning the team will be remade again. It needs to be, but we can only hope the outcome is better this time. In NHL action, the Los Angeles Kings were eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche marking the end of Anze Kopitar's amazing NHL career. The handshake line left me a little teary for a man who certainly defied all the probabilities and may well go down in history as the best Slovenian to ever play the game. > Anze Kopitar makes his way through the handshake line after his final NHL game 🥹 [pic.twitter.com/gdmM1f5mcm](https://t.co/gdmM1f5mcm?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) [April 26, 2026](https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/2048546830384820360?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) He had what every top player wants. He was drafted in 2005 and after one more year in Sweden, he entered the NHL and never left until last night. He played every game for the team that drafted him, won the Cup twice, the Lady Byng and the Selke twice (just his luck his career overlapped Patrice Bergeron). 1,521 NHL games in the regular season, 107 playoff games. When you draft someone that special, that's what you want their career summation to look like. You owe it to them. --- Oh, did Montreal get beat?

Lists of everyone who didn't score enough, trade speculation based on residency. Remember all those times you whined about all the media only talking about Toronto? Enjoy.
