NHL Draft trade details 2026
9:14 p.m.: The Utah Mammoth have traded up two spots to the No. 17 pick, trading No. 19 and a second round pick. The Mammoth are now on the clock.
8:52 p.m.: The St. Louis Blues had four first round picks and they just packaged two of them to land a big-name player.
In a deal with the Anaheim Ducks, St. Louis acquires Mason McTavish for picks 15 and 29, sending the 23-year-old center to the Blues, per Elliotte Friedman.
7:42 p.m.: The New York Rangers join on the trade action with another big move. Per ESPN’s Emily Kaplan., the Rangers acquire Pavel Dorofeyev from the Vegas Golden Knights.
Dorofeyev is coming off a season where he had 37 goals in the regular season and 12 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which was second on Vegas. As a restricted free agent, New York now has his rights. According to the New York Post’s Mollie Walker, the Rangers are sending the No. 26 pick, No. 92 pick and a conditional 2028 first rounder for the Vegas star.
7:12 p.m.: The deal is being finalized sending Peterka to Boston. ESPN’s Emily Kaplan reports that multiple first round picks are going the other way.
The Utah Mammoth are sending JJ Peterka to the Boston Bruins. Utah’s return is multiple first round picks, sources said.

According to Pierre LeBrun, Boston will send its 2026 first and Florida’s 2028 first (top-10 protected) the other way.
7:00 p.m.: The Bruins are in trade talks, and it’s a big one, with reports saying Boston is in the stages of acquiring J.J. Peterka from the Utah Mammoth.
The #NHLBruins and Utah Mammoth have been engaged in discussions this afternoon on winger JJ Peterka.
One of the proposals Boston had on the table included multiple first-round picks. Utah was mulling options.
This deal isn’t quite done yet.

Peterka is coming off a season where he had 47 points in 82 games and is signed through the 2030 season with a $7.7 million cap hit.
