The 2024 NHL Entry Draft has come and gone. Over the two-day event from June 28-29 at The Sphere in Las Vegas, 225 players from around the world heard their names get called on the NHL’s biggest stage. They know where their rights will be held over the next few seasons, and the teams who drafted them are stockpiling the prospect cupboards, hoping some, if not all, of their selections are home runs. The Carolina Hurricanes had 10 picks over the event, all on Day 2 after trading their 27th overall pick to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night (June 28). General Manager Eric Tulsky and his staff kept themselves busy by trading back a few times during the draft to collect picks throughout the day.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The Chicago Blackhawks ended up trading back into the first round toward the end of the draft and selected forward Marek Vanacker with the No. 27 overall pick. The Hawks sent their two second-round picks, No. 34 and No. 50 overall, to the Carolina Hurricanes to get back into the first round.

It was when Kyle Davidson traded back into the first-round that the aggressiveness was on full display. They used that 27th overall pick on Marek Vanacker, who Chicago worried wouldn’t be there at 34. Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson will not hold back to grab what he and the front office value. That was on display Friday night.

He's also going to be faced with a massive decision now that he's about to receive a contract from the Chicago Blackhawks.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.

Going with Artyom Levshunov over Ivan Demidov last night undoubtedly raised eyebrows, but it was overall one of the NHL Draft’s more brilliant picks.
