2026 NHL Draft Results




Round 7



Dexter High School defenseman Myles Brosnan was my only player in the top 64 that fell to the seventh round. Find out who got him.



Chris Ransom follow @DraftUtopia Last Updated: July 8, 2026.


  1. New York Rangers: Ivan Patrikhayev, D, CSKA Moscow (KHL) A+ Grade

    New York drafts a defenseman that can be a number seven defenseman on an NHL team or a number one defenseman on an AHL team. Ivan Patrikhayev is one of the best defenders from Russia in the 2026 NHL Draft.


    Ivan Patrikhayev has the skating, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Ivan Patrikhayev has enough stamina to play 21 minutes of ice time based on what I've seen from him on CSKA Moscow in Russia in the KHL.


    The 6-0 185 lb Ivan Patrikhayev had 3 goals, 10 assists, 13 points, and a +8 +/- ratio in 66 KHL games with CSKA Moscow in 2025-2026. Ivan Patrkhayev had 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 points in 10 games during the 2026 KHL Playoffs.


  2. Chicago Blackhawks: Alexander Ivanov, D, Ak Bars Kazan (KHL) A+ Grade

    The Chicago Blackhawks draft a bottom pairing defenseman that I had a fifth round grade on in the seventh round. Alexander Ivanov could be a steal late in the 2026 NHL Draft.


    Alexander Ivanov has the skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Alexander Ivanov could develop into a third line defenseman on an NHL team that drafts him down the road.


    The 6-4 190 lb Alexander Ivanov had 0 goals, 3 assists, and 3 points in 56 VHL games in 2025-2026. Alexander Ivanov had 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 points in 7 KHL games in 2025-2026.



  3. Colorado Avalanche: Shawn Carrier, LW, Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL) A Grade

    Shawn Carrier was drafted sixth overall by the Moncton Wildcats in the 2023 QMJHL Draft. He was later traded to the Halifax Mooseheads.


  4. Detroit Red Wings: Myles Brosnan, D, Dexter Southfield HS (MA) A+ Grade

    Detroit drafts a defenseman that can be groomed for the future. Myles Brosnan was the second best defenseman and second best player in High School hokey behind only Jayden Kurtz.


    Myles Brosnan has the skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, shooting, sniping, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Myles Brosnan and was the number one defenseman at Deter Southfield High School in Massachusetts. He also saw limited action with the Sioux City Musketeers in the USHL. Myles Brosnan is the fifty first player with experience or potential to play on a first line in the 2026 NHL Draft.


    The 6-1 194 lb Myles Brosnan had 3 goals, 18 assists, and 21 points in 31 games as a freshman at Dexter Southfield High School in 2023-2024. Myles Brosnan had 9 goals, 27 assists, and 36 points in 28 games as a sophomore at Dexter Southfield High School in 2024-2025. Myles Brosnan had 7 goals, 44 assists, and 51 points in 30 games as a junior at Dexter Southfield High School in 2025-2026. Myles Brosnan had 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 points in the USHL in 2 games with the Sioux City Musketeers in 2025-2026.


    Myles Brosnan will split his time between Dexter Southfield High School and the Sioux City Musketeers during his senior season of High School. He will enroll at Harvard in 2027.



  5. Dallas Stars: Jasper Kuhta, C, Ottawa 67's (OHL) A+ Grade

    Dallas drafts a center to stash and develop. Jasper Kuhta was the Ottawa 67's 2025 second round pick in the 2025 CHL Import Draft as Kuhta hails from Helsinki, Finland. I had this guy getting picked in the late sixth round and Dallas took him in the seventh round.


    Jasper Kuhta has the skating, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Jasper Kuhta could develop into a fourth line center in the NHL.


    The 6-2 199 lb Jasper Kuhta had 32 goals, 31 assists, 63 points, 393 face off wins, 175 shots on goal, a +25 +/- ratio, 10 power play goals, 6 penalty minutes, 3 game-wining goals, and 3 short-handed goals in 62 OHL games with the Ottawa 67's in 2025-2026. Jasper Kuhta had 2 goals, 5 assists, and 7 points in 9 games during the 2026 OHL Playoffs.


  6. Seattle Kraken: Rylan Singh, D, Guelph Storm (OHL) F Grade

    Rylan Singh is undersized. He also has two seasons where his +/-ratio is in the negative.



  7. Winnipeg Jets: Noah Ta'amu, D, Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL) C Grade

    Noah Ta'amu was third overall in the 2023 WHL US Draft which used to be seperate from the WHL Draft. This is a solid addition in the seventh round for Winnipeg to bolster their blue line.


  8. Chicago Blackhawks: William Sorbrand, C, Timra IK (Elitserien) C+ Grade

    I had this guy not getting drafted. Draft Prospect Hockey had him in their top 90 at 89th overall, so we'll meet the Blackhawks halfway there and give this a C+ grade.



  9. San Jose Sharks: Alexander Karmanov, D, North Bay Battalion (OHL) A+ Grade

    Alex is coming into the 2026 NHL Draft as the tallest player eligible. At 7’1”, 280 pounds this Left Hand Shot defenseman is only 18 and brings much more than size to the table. This feisty player for Moldova has come to the states to fine tune his craft and that is just what he is doing! Imagine Zdeno Chara with the ability to skate? That is what you are getting with Karmanov. He is young, but boy can he skate for a Huge Man. He looks very large against the opposition while playing the start of the 2025 season with the Brantford Titans playing in 15 games with 3 Goals and 4 Apples and then finished the season in the OHL with the North Bay Battalion with 20 Games 2 Assists and a +6 with 29 PIMs.


    Alex is committed to Penn State for the 2027-2028 season so he is a project for sure but he has the tools and of course the size not to mention that he is able to skate very well for his size. He has a very high ceiling based on his skills and skating, but will need to learn how to use the tools he was blessed with in order to make an impact for any team that drafts him.


  10. Nashville Predators: Charlie Puglisi, C, Winchendon HS (MA) B Grade

    Charlie Puglisi was an alternate captain on Winchendon High School. I like that the Nashville Predators are swinging for the fences with one of the top High School skaters in the seventh round.



  11. St. Louis Blues: Colin Fitzgerald, C, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL) A+ Grade

    St. Louis drafts the best player on the board in the sixth round, I'm gonna briefly list how Colin Fitzgerald got drafted in the OHL Draft before letting Ron Mont knock this writeup out. Colin Fitzgerald was drafted third overall by the Peterborough Petes in the 2024 OHL Draft.


    Colin is a big fast Center at 6’2” and 212 pounds he is the prototypical Center in todays NHL. Colin started the 2025 season on the Peterborough Petes with the "A" on his sweater for 24 games played potting 6 goals and 7 assists for 13 PTS, then traded to Soo Greyhounds for 39 games and put up 9 goals and 11 assists for 20 PTS giving him a total of 15 goals and 18 assists for 33 PTS.


    Colin, plays big minutes and plays in all situations from 5v5 to PP and PK. He has a good wrist shot and is clearly not afraid to drive the net or take shots from any place on the ice. He has good speed and plays a good 200 foot game. He could be a 3rd or 4th line Center as he is really good in the face-off dot.


  12. Seattle Kraken: William Tomko, C, Sioux City Musketeers (USHL) D Grade

    Seattle is loaded at center. With rumors about trading Shane Wright coming to fruition, I cannot blame the Kraken for taking a swing on a center in the seventh round.



  13. New York Islanders: Bobby Cowan, RW, Western Michigan A Grade

    The 5-11 175 lb Bobby Cowan had 5 goals, 19 assists, and 24 points as a freshman at Western Michigan in 2025-2026. Bobby Cowan had 73 shots as well during his freshman season at Western Michigan.


  14. Columbus Blue Jackets: Filip Novak, LW, Sparta Praha (Extraliga) C Grade

    The 6-1 198 lb Filip Novak had 0 points in Extraliga against men. He did well against kids and adolescents though.



  15. Vegas Golden Knights: Noah Pakarinen, LW, Kiekko-Espoo (SM Liiga) B Grade

    Noah Parkarinen was one of my top UDFA's. Thhis is great value if the Vegas Golden Kngihts want to roll the dice on Noel Pakarinen in the seventh round.


  16. Washington Capitals: Logan Stuart, C, USNTDP (USHL) A+ Grade

    The Washington Capitals get a player with the potential to develop into a fourth line center with this seventh round pick. Logan Stuart is a good addition here in the seventh round.


    Logan Stuart has the skating, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Logan Stuart could develop into a fourth line center in the NHL.


    The 5-11 174 lb Logan Stuart had 3 goals, 12 assists, 15 points, 0 penalty minutes, and a +11 +/- ratio in 23 USHL games with the USNTDP team n 2025-2026. He also posted 10 goals, 20 assists, 30 points, 16 penalty minutes, and a +6 +/- ratio in 57 games with the US Under 18 Team in 2025-2026.


    Logan Stuart is one of the best dekers in this draft. He got an assist to Victor Plante on a play where Plante scored on Tobias Trejbal. He also got multiple assists to Mikey Berchild too. Logan Stuart will play for the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the WHL next season.



  17. Los Angeles Kings: Tobias Krestan, RW, HV71 (Elitserien) C Grade

    Tobias Krestan had 8 goals, 10 assists, and 18 points on the HV71 Under 20 Team in 2025-2026. If he played against men, this would be a higher grade.


  18. Anaheim Ducks: Jimmy Rieber, D, Waterloo Blackhawks (USHL) C Grade

    Jimmy Reiber is a solid addition here. He could be on the San Diego Gulls in the AHL one day.

    Artyom Prima has the versatility to play all three forward roles at left winger, center, and right winger. Artyom Prima was one of the best players on the Omaha Lancers last year which is why he got drafted.


  20. Edmonton Oilers: Ryan Cameron, G, Cedar Rapids RoughRiders (USHL) D- Grade

    Goalie was Edmonton's biggest need. Ryan Cameron had no business being drafted, but Edmonton picking him saves this pick from getting an F grade.



  21. Philadelphia Flyers: Max Laatikainen, D, Kiekko-Espoo (SM Liiga) C Grade

    Max Laatikainen got picked by the Philadelphia Flyers in the seventh round. I'm surprised he got picked, but this isn't the worst selection that the Flyers could have made in the seventh round.
