The 2026 NHL Draft is history, along with the wheeling and dealing that occurs in the trade market during that period. The last significant trades involving NHL players occurred during the first two days of July. Some of the chatter involves several players from our previous Trade Targets rankings, such as Connor Hellebucyk of the Winnipeg Jets, Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings, and Kirill Marchenko of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Meanwhile, a handful of players who appeared in our previous ranking didn't make the cut this time. Others, like Morgan Rielly and Matthew Knies of the Toronto Maple Leafs, didn't appear in any recent media conjecture.
