The Buffalo Sabres will host the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft at KeyBank Center on June 26-27, marking the fourth time the city has welcomed the event and the first in its decentralized format. NHL Central Scouting's midseason rankings highlight Gavin McKenna as the top North American skater and Ivar Stenberg as the leading international prospect. The draft returns to Buffalo a decade after Auston Matthews was selected first overall there in 2016.
