Gavin McKenna has been a superstar in the making for nearly 4 years now, but could his grasp on #1 in the 2026 NHL Draft be slipping? We discuss his boundless creativity and dynamism alongside his three biggest contenders for the top spot in the class. Ethan Belchetz has all the makings of an elite power playmaker in the NHL, while Ivar Stenberg's elite skill is supported by the details and habits of a 30-year-old veteran. Keaton Verhoeff, the big and mobile defenceman with a howitzer shot, will also have a say in pushing McKenna to earn his right at the top of the draft.
