While it isn’t expected to be a big night for the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night for the opening round of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, Saturday might be a different story as the organization currently holds 10 picks on the second day of the draft including two top 100 picks starting with 43rd overall in the second round and 74th overall in the third round. Will Colorado make either of these picks or will they get moved in a draft weekend trade?
To begin the festivities, tonight the first round of the draft commences from Buffalo, NY. It will be televised on ESPN and ESPN+ beginning at 5 p.m. MT. Saturday morning rounds 2-7 start bright and early at 9 a.m. MT on NHL Network and ESPN+.
There have been some major trades in the league leading up to this event and even more could be on tap before the weekend has concluded. Stay up to date with the NHL’s entire official draft order, which has been updated continually with the recent flurry of exchanges.
