Unlike Friday, all eight teams in the Pacific Division made a selection on Saturday, which featured rounds two through seven. The Calgary Flames made seven selected, tied for the most with the Vancouver Canucks, Seattle Kraken, and Anaheim Ducks among Pacific Division teams.

Let’s take a look at what Pacific Division teams drafted which players, as well as some other notables from Saturday.

Calgary Flames

With the 36th overall selection, the Flames drafted Chase Harrington. I like this pick, he’s the type of player contenders have. The Flames selected one goalie, Tobias Trejbal (42nd overall). The Czech netminder was the first goalie off the board.

The Flames love to draft their Russians, and while they didn’t select any Russian netminders, they did select two Russian forwards. Alan Shaikhlislamov was selected with the 55th overall pick, Egor Barabanov was selected 100th overall.

Sandwiched between the two Russians was son of the best player in Flames’ history, Joe Iginla. It’s a potential-over-results type of pick, but it was probably still a bit too early in the draft for this pick.

The second Czech player the Flames selected was forward Šimon Katolický, who the Flames drafted 132nd overall. He played in Finland last season. Their final pick on the day saw them select their first defenceman since Carson Carels with the sixth overall pick, Bode Laylin (164th overall).

San Jose Sharks

The rebuilding Sharks won day one of the 2026 draft, and it wasn’t even particularly close. They drafted an immediate top six forward in Ivan Stenberg, then picked up one of the best defencemen in the class, Keaton Verhoeff. Then with the 21st overall select, they selected Ryan Lin, another solid defenceman

Surprisingly, they only had three picks, all in the fourth round of beyond. They selected netminder Brady Knowling 127th overall, forward Jake Gustafson 174th overall, and defenceman Alexander Karmanov 201st overall. More on Karmanov in the notables section.

Vancouver Canucks

For the first time in franchise history, the Canucks had four picks in the top two rounds. That doesn’t sound true, but it is.

With the 33rd overall pick, they selected 6’7″ centre Brooks Rogowski. Then less than 10 picks later, they selected Norwegian forward Niklas Aaram-Olsen. In the fourth round, the Canucks selected Russian netminder Dmitri Ivchenk 78th overall.

Belarussian forward Yaroslav Bryzaglov (no relation to famous NHL netminder Ilya) was their fourth round pick, with the Medicine Hat Tigers forward going 97th overall. The Canucks picked two Canadians, every other pick featured a different nation. With the 129th overall pick, they selected Connor Davis.

Then in round six, the Canucks selected Slovak forward Lucian Bernat 176th overall, and Swedish defenceman Samuel Eriksson 184th overall. They had nine selections, with eight unique nations. Not sure that’s ever happened before.

Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken selected seven players on day two. First was American forward Casey Mutryn, who was drafted 38th overall. In round four, the Kraken selected Russian forward Viktor Fyodorov.

They had two fifth-round selections, drafting defenceman Finn Kearns with 131st overall pick, then another defenceman, Luken Huff, with the 148th overall pick. With the 166th overall pick, the Kraken selected Swedish defenceman Ola Palme, followed by Canadian defenceman Rylan Singh with the 198th overall pick.

Coming into this draft, the Kraken had never drafted a defenceman with a first round pick. They bucked that trend by calling Chase Reid’s name with the seventh overall pick. Finally, the Kraken picked a forward, William Tomko, with the 204th overall pick.

What a weird franchise.

Edmonton Oilers

From a weird franchise to a dysfunctional franchise, the Edmonton Oilers were the lone Pacific Division team without a first rounder. Their first pick in the draft was set to be the 52nd overall pick, but they moved down six spots to select Latvian centre Rūdolfs Bērzkalns. More on the Latvians in the notables section.

With the 84th overall pick, the Oilers selected Swedish forward Malcom Gästrin. Then they picked back-to-back Windsor Spitfires, Andrew Robinson was selected 133 overall, and Caden Harvey was selected 180th overall.

They capped off their draft by selecting American netminder Ryan Cameron with the 212th overall selection. However, they failed to trade Darnell Nurse, one of their biggest pressing issues this off-season.

Anaheim Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks had seven picks, including two in the first round. With the 45 overall pick, they selected American defenceman Jayden Kurtz, followed by Canadian forward Mathis Preston just five picks later.

In the third round, the Ducks selected forward Rian Chudzinski with the 82nd overall pick, then Eric Frossard with the 146th overall pick. The Ducks had two selections in the sixth round, using the 178th overall pick to select Russian netminder Gleb Peshkov. Their 192nd overall pick was used to select Noah Kosick.

With their seventh-rounder, the Ducks selected American defenceman Jimmy Rieber 210th overall.

Vegas Golden Knights

Lastly, the Vegas Golden Knights had six picks in the second round and beyond. With the 92 overall pick, they selected American forward Ben Wilmott, then drafted American defenceman Sean Burick just three picks last.

In round four, the Golden Knights selected Jonah Siverston 113th overall, followed by Will McLaughlin with the 159th overall pick. Netminder Matthew Minchak was their sixth-round pick, going 191st overall, with Noel Pakarinen being their final pick. The Finn was selected 207th overall.

Notables from day two of the draft

Starting with the notable trades, the Ducks traded John Carlson’s rights to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a 2026 sixth and defence prospect Kyle Masters.

Another right-shot defenceman, Brandon Carlo, was traded to the St. Louis Blues, with the Toronto Maple Leafs getting two thirds in return.

That was it in terms of noteworthy trades, but there were some interesting players selected during the two day draft.

Alexander Karmanov, drafted early in the seventh round by the Sharks, sets two first. The Moldovan-born defenceman is unsurprisingly the first Moldovan drafted. However, he’s the tallest player ever drafted, standing at 7’1”, 280 lbs. It’ll be interesting to see how his career pans out.

It’s been three decades since Lithuanian Dainius Zubrus was selected. Well, the Florida Panthers picked Lithuanian forward Simas Ignatavicius with the 40th ever selection, the third Lithuanian-born player ever drafted.

Additionally, the Buffalo Sabres selected Domán Kristóf Szongoth with the 156th overall pick, becoming the fifth Hungarian ever drafted, and the first since 2002.

There were four Latvians drafted. Defenceman Alberts Šmits went fifth overall, by far the highest a Latvian has ever gone. He surpassed Zemgus Girgensons, who was drafted 12th overall in 2012. Moreover, the four Latvians drafted in 2026 are the most in a single draft.

Slovakia produced eight draft picks, which tied how many Slovaks went Slovaks went in the 2023 draft, Flames’ Samuel Honzek included. It looks like the country is entering a golden era, as the eight players drafted are the most since 2004, when 10 Slovaks were drafted.

Kazakhstan produced two first-round picks, the most in the country’s history. Gleb Pugachyov (yes there were two players named Gleb drafted in 2026) is the first Kazak to go in the first round since Nikolai Antropov. With three Kazakhstanis selected, it matches the all-time most they’ve had, which came back in 1999.

Germany produced four players in last year’s draft, but saw two players go in 2026., as did Denmark and Norway. Switzerland saw two players drafted, but that’s generous as Ryder Cali’s mother was playing hockey in Switzerland at the time of his birth. There were no Austrians selected in this draft.
