Following the NHL Draft in Buffalo this past weekend, where 20 QMJHL players were selected\u2014the league’s highest total since 2021\u2014an additional 21 skaters have now earned invitations to NHL development camps, which are currently taking place across the league.<\/p>\n

The Cape Breton Eagles and Gatineau Olympiques lead the way with three invitees each.<\/p>\n

For the Eagles, Alonso Gosselin was invited by the Philadelphia Flyers, Noah Jettelson by the Colorado Avalanche, and Elias Schneider by the Los Angeles Kings. Gosselin spent the 2025-26 season with the Chicoutimi Saguen\u00e9ens, while Schneider played for the Shawinigan Cataractes.<\/p>\n

For the Olympiques, Maxim Dub\u00e9 is attending the New York Rangers’ camp, Michel Myloserdnyy is with the Nashville Predators, and Dylan Allie is participating in the Vegas Golden Knights’ camp.<\/p>\n

Five teams saw two of their players receive invitations: the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (Vincent Desjardins and Torkel Jennersj\u00f6), Drummondville Voltigeurs (Jesse Allecia and Owen Keefe), Halifax Mooseheads (Liam Kilfoil and Daniel Walters), Quebec Remparts (Mathias Loiselle and Nikita Ovcharov), and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (Samuel Beauchemin and Benjamin Brunelle).<\/p>\n

The five other QMJHL players invited to NHL development camps are Marcus Kearsey of the Charlottetown Islanders (Columbus), Cameron Chartrand of the Saint John Sea Dogs (Columbus), Kody Dupuis of the Shawinigan Cataractes (Calgary), Thomas Rousseau of the Sherbrooke Phoenix (Montr\u00e9al), and Justin Larose of the Newfoundland Regiment (Dallas).<\/p>\n

Just as they did at the NHL Draft this past weekend with three selections, the Colorado Avalanche proved to be the most generous NHL club in terms of development camp invitations, extending three invites\u2014to Jennersj\u00f6, Jettelson, and Loiselle. Quebec-based scout J\u00e9r\u00f4me M\u00e9son\u00e9ro undoubtedly played a significant role in those decisions.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Flyers (Gosselin and Beauchemin), Los Angeles Kings (Schneider and Walters), Columbus Blue Jackets (Kearsey and Chartrand), Nashville Predators (Keefe and Myloserdnyy), and Montr\u00e9al Canadiens (Ovcharov and Rousseau) each invited two QMJHL players to their development camps.<\/p>\n

The Charlottetown Islanders added size, skill and leadership to their prospect pool on Wednesday, selecting three players in the 2026 CHL Import Draft who will all have the opportunity to earn a roster spot at training camp this fall.<\/p>\n

With three import positions currently available heading into the 2026-27 season, all three selections will arrive in Charlottetown looking to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n

Islanders Select Artyom Mate in First Round<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Islanders used the 32nd overall pick in the first round to select Russian defenceman Artyom Mate<\/span>, a 6-foot-3, 196-pound blueliner from Moskva, Russia.<\/p>\n

At just 17 years old, Mate already brings an impressive resume. He served as captain of both Spartak Moskva\u2019s U17 and U18 teams during the 2025-26 season, showcasing leadership qualities well beyond his years.<\/p>\n

Offensively, Mate produced at an elite level from the back end, recording 10 goals and 13 assists for 23 points in 22 games with the U17 squad before adding six goals and six assists for 12 points in just 13 games with the U18 team.<\/p>\n

Elite Prospects believes the Islanders may have landed one of the biggest steals of the draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt in our minds that Artyom Mate would make an immediate impact for the Charlottetown Islanders. Mature beyond his years, the big-bodied defenceman was a consistent standout for our Eastern Europe scout Dylan Griffing, shining through his ability to process the game but also bringing intriguing physical tools to the table. He\u2019ll be a player to watch for next year\u2019s NHL Draft.\u201d – Elite Prospects<\/p>\n

Elite Prospects’ Eastern Europe scout Dylan Griffing was equally high on the selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was incredibly upsetting to not see Artyom Mate lace up for a single MHL game this past season. My No. 6 ranked 2009-born prospect, he spent the entire season with Spartak\u2019s U18 club as he wasn\u2019t selected for either of the two junior programs at their disposal. There\u2019s a lot to like with his profile and a lot that will translate extremely well into the North American style of hockey. He\u2019s a mature player, often appearing older than his age group just because of how intelligent he is. No pressure is too much for him to handle, an extremely reliable puck-mover with above-average skating, strong vision, and the ability to link plays through channels of space like he\u2019s been doing it since birth. Shone at the international level this season in his chances. I think there\u2019s a hidden gem with this player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Islanders President and General Manager Scott Harris believes Mate has the tools to step into a significant role immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s really strong defensively; he moves the puck extremely well under pressure; he\u2019s played in the Russian national program on top of playing locally,\u201d said Harris. \u201cTo us, Mate is going to be able to come in and play a top-four role. He\u2019s very mature for a 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n

Islanders Add Latvian Defenceman Aleksandr Grundmanis<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Charlottetown continued to bolster its blue line in the second round, selecting Latvian defenceman Aleksandr Grundmanis<\/span> with the 93rd overall pick.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-4, 213-pound right-shot defenceman spent last season with Lule\u00e5 HF\u2019s U18 team in Sweden, recording three goals and 17 assists for 20 points in 37 regular season games before adding three assists in three playoff contests.<\/p>\n

Grundmanis also represented Latvia internationally, scoring two goals in seven games with the country\u2019s U18 national team.<\/p>\n

Harris believes Grundmanis fits exactly what the Islanders were looking for.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrundmanis, as an example, has been part of the Latvian national program and it looks like he\u2019s most likely going to be part of the under-20 camp that they have this summer,\u201d said Harris. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to find big mobile D that can move the puck, and both of these defencemen can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Islanders Round Out Draft with Dynamic Ukrainian Forward<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

In the third round, with the 154th overall selection, the Islanders added offensive skill by selecting Ukrainian forward Oleksii Kryvonos<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-10 forward spent most of last season playing against older competition with HK Nitra\u2019s U20 team in Slovakia, posting 18 goals and 14 assists for 32 points in 43 games.<\/p>\n

Late in the season, Kryvonos joined the club\u2019s U18 team, recording three points in two regular season games before breaking out in the playoffs with three goals and two assists in seven games. His outstanding postseason earned him recognition as the top forward of the Slovakia U18 playoffs despite being just 16 years old.<\/p>\n

Harris believes the skilled forward has the ability to become an impact player.<\/p>\n

\u201c(He) was the MVP of the under-18s last year as a 16-year-old in the playoffs,\u201d said Harris. \u201cThis kid has special qualities. He\u2019s quick, got really good skill and really good vision, and he\u2019s versatile because he can play both down the middle and he can also play on the wing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opportunity Awaits<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

With three import roster spots available entering the 2026-27 season, all three draft selections are expected to attend Islanders training camp this fall with an opportunity to earn a place on the opening night roster.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 2026 CHL Import Draft was held earlier today and QMJHL teams selected a total of 38 players that were born in European countries.<\/p>\n

The Halifax Mooseheads, who acquired the second overall selection in a trade with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar yesterday, got things started by using that pick to claim 17-year-old Austrian forward, Paul Sintschnig.<\/p>\n

The Rimouski Oc\u00e9anic was the next QMJHL representative to speak, opting to select Czechian winger Maxmilian Mares with the 5th<\/sup> overall pick. The only other QMJHL squad to select inside the Top 10 was the Gatineau Olympiques, who used the 8th<\/sup> overall pick on Russian-born forward Ilya Pautov.<\/p>\n

For the second straight year, the CHL Import Draft consisted of three rounds as the CHL enters its second season with three import player spots available on each club\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n

However, new rules were in effect for this year\u2019s draft: 20-year-old import players were eligible to be selected in any round, while 16-year-old import players could only be selected in the first round.<\/p>\n

CHL clubs can carry a maximum of one 16-year-old import player per season. That player cannot be traded or replaced by another import player during his 16-year-old season. If a 16-year-old import player is released to another level of hockey during the regular season or deleted from a club\u2019s roster, that club will be limited to two import players for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs.<\/p>\n

In the end, every QMJHL team added two players in the first two rounds of this year\u2019s CHL Import Draft. The only QMJHL teams to select players in the third round of the draft, however, \u00a0were the Baie-Comeau Drakkar and Charlottetown Islanders \u2013 all other clubs having filled their import player roster spots by then.<\/p>\n

New for this year\u2019s draft, 20-year-old import players will be eligible to be selected in any round, while 16-year-old import players may only be selected in the first round.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Your Charlottetown Islanders will make the 32nd overall selection in the 2026 CHL Import Draft, set for Tuesday, June 30, at 11 a.m. ET<\/b><\/span>. The Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) hold the first overall selection, followed by the Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League (WHL).<\/p>\n

(See the complete draft order below.)<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Islanders also own the 93rd overall selection<\/span> in the second round and the 154th overall pick<\/span> in the third round.<\/p>\n

Charlottetown enters this year\u2019s draft with all three import roster spots available<\/span>, President and General Manager Scott Harris<\/span> and the Islanders with an exciting opportunity to add impact talent to the lineup ahead of the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Import Draft is one of the best opportunities to add high-end talent to your organization. This is a draft we\u2019re really excited about. Having three import spots available gives us a unique opportunity to be aggressive. My extensive background in NHL scouting has allowed me to develop a strong network internationally and we\u2019re going to lean on that experience throughout this process,” said President & General Manager Scott Harris. “We believe there are some difference-makers available, and we\u2019re looking forward to bringing that type of talent to Charlottetown.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The club\u2019s import roster opens following the departures of forwards Ivan Ryabkin<\/span> and Nikita Voyaga<\/span>. Ryabkin made an immediate impact after being selected 21st overall by the Islanders in the 2025 CHL Import Draft, joining the team midway through the season and quickly establishing himself as one of the league\u2019s most dynamic offensive players. The Russian forward finished the regular season with 13 goals and 29 assists for 42 points in just 20 games<\/span>, before adding four goals and five assists for nine points in six playoff games<\/span>. Ryabkin has since re-joined the Chicago Wolves<\/span> of the American Hockey League, helping the club reach the Calder Cup Finals.<\/p>\n

With a clean slate of import positions available, the Islanders have the flexibility to make a significant splash in this year\u2019s draft and continue building an exciting young roster.<\/p>\n

For the second straight year, the CHL Import Draft will consist of three rounds as the CHL enters its second season with three import player spots available on each club\u2019s roster. Under updated rules for the 2026 CHL Import Draft, 20-year-old import players will be eligible to be selected in any round, while 16-year-old import players may also be selected, but only in the first round.<\/p>\n

CHL clubs may carry a maximum of one 16-year-old import player per season, and that player cannot be traded or replaced by another import player during his 16-year-old season. If a 16-year-old import player is released to another level of hockey during the regular season or removed from a club\u2019s roster, that club will be limited to two import players for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. CHL clubs have been permitted to trade selections in the 2027 CHL Import Draft since May 5, 2026, while 2026 selections may continue to be traded until Monday, June 29.<\/p>\n

The Islanders have found success through the CHL Import Draft over the years. In 2020<\/span>, Charlottetown selected Jakub Brabenec<\/span> with the 35th overall pick, while in 2017<\/span>, the club selected Nikita Alexandrov<\/span> with the 50th overall selection. Most recently, the Islanders struck gold with Ryabkin in 2025, whose remarkable production in a short span showcased the impact an elite import player can have on a team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

The CHL Import Draft has helped bring a number of future NHL standouts to the CHL, including Leon Draisaitl (Prince Albert Raiders \/ WHL), Zdeno Chara (Prince George Cougars \/ WHL), Marian Hossa (Portland Winterhawks \/ WHL), Mikael Backlund (Kelowna Rockets \/ WHL), Oliver Bjorkstrand (Portland Winterhawks \/ WHL), Gabriel Landeskog (Kitchener Rangers \/ OHL), Nikita Zadorov (London Knights \/ OHL), Rasmus Andersson (Barrie Colts \/ OHL), Olli M\u00e4\u00e4tt\u00e4 (London Knights \/ OHL), Alexander Radulov (Qu\u00e9bec Remparts \/ QMJHL), David Krejci (Gatineau Olympiques \/ QMJHL), and Nico Hischier (Halifax Mooseheads \/ QMJHL). That list also includes two-time Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov (Rouyn-Noranda Huskies \/ QMJHL), along with recent 2026 Stanley Cup champions Andrei Svechnikov (Barrie Colts \/ OHL) and Nikolaj Ehlers (Halifax Mooseheads \/ QMJHL).<\/p>\n

Since the first CHL Import Draft was held in 1992, more than 2,300 players from outside Canada and the United States have been selected through the annual event.<\/p>\n
