Enjoy it everyone!
Past NHL Mock Draft Editions: 2023 2021 2020 2016 2015 2014 2011 2010
1. San Jose Sharks, Macklin Celebrini, LW/C/RW, Boston University
Congrats to the club in Silicon Valley for winning the lottery, and with it the top prize in this year’s draft. Celebrini is a Canadian forward and Hobby Baker Award winner, who is hands down top overall prospect in this class. He’s also a Chicago Steel alum, so we love the local connection to this phenom-in-the-making.
2. Chicago Blackhawks, Ivan Demidov, RW/C/LW, SKA St. Petersburg
An intriguing prospect from “Mother Russia,” he’ll be the first pure scoring winger prospect selected. Having struck gold last year by winning the lottery and thus the rights to Connor Bedard last spring, the Hawks now look to add another major building block, in the same position group.
Bedard looks to be the real deal, and he’ll only get better once he gets more help in the forward line.
3. Anaheim Ducks, Berkly Catton, LW/C/RW, Spokane
Versatile forward prospect could step in immediately to provide in multiple areas along the front line.
4. Columbus Blue Jackets, Artyom Levshunov, RD, Michigan State
A 6’2″ 198 lb bruiser who also has finesse, the Belarus native is a classic example of why we have the hash tag #SpartansWill
And of course #GoGreen to which you say #GoWhite
5. Montreal Canadiens, Zeev Buium, D, Denver
Has rocketed up the draft boards, after having achieved a massive and I mean MASSIVE season in the NCAA. He scored a ridiculous 50 points in 42 games.
6. Utah NHL Team, Sam Dickinson, LHD, London
The Arizona Coyotes situation had been a massive mess for so long that it’s great to see some closure here. Maybe a move to Utah is what they need. And with their first pick as a newly re-branded franchise, they take this stellar blue-liner!
7. Ottawa Senators, Zayne Parekh, D, Saginaw Spirit
Blue chip blue-liner prospect Canadian international who plays for the Saginaw Michigan franchise that’s a part of the Ontario Hockey League.
8. Seattle Kraken, Cayden Lindstrom, LW/C/RW, Medicine Hat Tigers
Seattle add a Canadian from one of the best named hockey clubs in all the land!
9. Calgary Flames, Anton Silayev, LHD, Nizhny Novogorod
Maybe the best blue-liner prospect out of the KHL this draft.
10. New Jersey Devils, Konsta Helenius, C/RW, Jukurit, Finland
Very tall Russian prospect out of the Liiga whi might b a great fit for what they’re doing in Jersey.
11. Buffalo Sabres, Cole Eiserman, LW, US NTDP
From a Boston University player to a BU commit. Indeed the Terriers = top tier talent.
12. Philadelphia Flyers, Adam Jiricek, D, HC Plzen
At 6’1″ and just 152 lbs, this Czech really needs to beef up, so that he better take and dish out the checks.
13. Minnesota Wild, Carter Yakemchuk, D, Calgary
Another key piece at an important position for the Isles, as they look to try and finally get over that next hump.
14. San Jose Sharks via Pittsburgh Penguins, Igor Chernyshov, LW, MHK Dynamo Moskva
Seattle looks to try and add more scoring punch.
15. Detroit Red Wings, Beckett Sennecke, RW, Oshawa
Solid Canadian prospect from the Ontario Hockey League moves just across the Ambassador Bridge (or Detroit-Windsor Tunnel)
16. St. Louis Blues, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård, RW, Mora IK
Seems to be a very popular projection in most mock drafts part 1
END LOTTERY.
For the rest of the 2024 NHL Mock Draft, we took the order from Tankathon.
17. Washington Capitals, LW, Igor Chernyshov, Dynamo Moscow
Seems to be a very popular projection in most mock drafts part 2
18. New York Islanders, Michael Hage, C, Chicago Steel or 2024 NHL Mock Draft Selection (Taylor’s Version)
Grabbing the USHL star and Michigan commit here would be a steal here! Speaking of the Chicago Steel, by the way, did you hear about the Taylor Swift The Eras night the had? Read about that promotional idea over at this link. Anything Tay-Tay, T-Sizzle related is super huge right now. By the way, did you know that she is a Notre Dame football fan (Selena Gomez too)?
Hage, 18, had a rough first season with the Steel, as he was recovering from a torn labrum. But now the Canadian is finding his form and rocketing up the draft boards.
Hage has only gotten better as the season has gone on.
19. Las Vegas Golden Knights, Trevor Connelly, LW/C/RW, Tri-City
American forward who signed a letter of intent with Providence. Great value pick here!
20. Chicago via Tampa, Sacha Boisvert, C, Muskegon
Hawks continue to add potential building blocks to supplement Bedard, who has been as good as advertised. They will not be totally awful, someday. Maybe not too far into the future.
21. L.A. Kings, Ryder Ritchie, LW/C/RW, Prince Albert
Versatile Canadian that needs to add weight, as he’s a bit lanky right now.
22. Nashville Predators, Charlie Elick, D, Brandon
At some point, there will be a run on defensem*n…or “defencemen” as they say in Canada.
23. Toronto Maple Leafs, Cole Hutson, D, US NTDP
Small but tough and very talented Boston University commit.
24. Anaheim Ducks via Edmonton Oilers, EJ Emery, D, US NTDP
Here comes that run on blue-liners.
25. Colorado Avalanche,Tij Iginla, F, Kelowna
One of the best prospects in the WHL
26. Ottawa Senators via Boston Bruins, Liam Greentree, RW, Windsor
Fun fact: Windsor (from Detroit), is the only place where you go SOUTH when entering Canada from the United States.
27. Montreal Canadiens via Winnipeg Jets, Aron Kiviharju, D, HIFK
Very talented, but he is obviously not the finished product. However, he is a Finnish product. Hey hey
28. Carolina Hurricanes, Henry Mews, D, Ottawa
Excellent right-handed defenseman prospect out of the Ontario Hockey League.
29. Calgary Flames via Vancouver Canucks, Maxim Massé, RW, Chicoutimi
Intriguing prospect from the QMJHL.
30. Philadelphia Flyers via Florida Panthers, Leo Sahlin, Wallenius, LHD, Vaxjo J20
This the longest draft slot description ever. Great value pick here!
31. Dallas Stars, Emil Hemming, RW, TPS
Stars look to beef up the attack but adding another prospect to their forward line.
32. New York Rangers, Nikita Artamonov, RW, Nizhny Novogorod
And with that, the Russian KHL prospect is the final pick in the 2024 NHL Mock Draft.
