Top #2026NHLDraft D prospect Ryan Lin has posted a nice goodbye note to the Vancouver Giants on his Instagram. Hearing he has committed to Denver for the 2026-27 NCAA season.

@randygo1964 yeah, either player getting exceptional status would change things.

@smallatlarge McMillan could also apply for exceptional status as he’s considered that good to play just as Conner Bedard was

So the Giants win the lottery. If Madden Danault goes #1 to Kelowna now, that means the Giants can pick hometown kid Parker McMillan at #2. Big lottery win for them since they likely weren't getting McMillan at 3rd overall before.

@olGeneral it effectively works out that way, but their #4 pick won the lottery and did move up the allowed 2 spots, to 2nd. That bumped their #3 pick down to #4.

@soccerra @JonKeenNLSports It's the worse of the two.

@JonKeenNLSports @smallatlarge Was not Lethbridge’s pick in the Smith/Cihar trade the better of Saskatoon/Regina?

Wenatchee wins the lottery - so Vancouver moves up. Kelowna retains 1st overall pick. Draft order below.
