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 NHL Entry Draft is approaching and will kick off a series of events that fill out the NHL offseason. For the Montreal Canadiens, it marks the start of an important summer that could define the rebuild that General Manager (GM) Kent Hughes has been guiding the team through these last two years. While the fanbase has been patient with the process, for the most part, that doesn’t mean they will remain so.

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. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Finally, it’s draft day. Prospects travel from across the globe to Las Vegas, hopeful to hear their name sooner rather than later. The vast majority of the hockey community will be present, which adds another level of eagerness and excitement to the 2024 NHL Draft. There isn’t much discussion up top, unlike the 2022 NHL Draft, where Juraj Slafkovsky and Shane Wright were neck and neck; Macklin Celebrini will be the first overall pick later tonight.

The Buffalo Sabres have acquired the rights to pending-restricted free agent Beck Malenstyn from the Washington Capitals, sending Pick 43 in the 2024 NHL Draft the other way. Beck Malenstyn was one of two notable RFAs in Washington’s system, alongside forward Connor McMichael. The two headlined a stressful summer for the Capitals — who are facing three remaining free agents, including McMichael and Max Pacioretty, with just $7.6M in cap space if you factor in the team receiving LTIR relief for Nicklas Backstrom. Having recently acquired the ever-cheap Logan Thompson, Washington now sits just two contracts short of a full NHL roster.

Philadelphia, PA

The rationale behind the Philadelphia Flyers selecting Matvei Michkov with Daniel Briére’s first pick as general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers was obvious. The Flyers needed high-end talent, and Michkov was the most skilled player available. There were risks with the choice — rumors of character concerns and defensive woes hummed in the background of Michkov’s aura while his daunting three-year contract in the Kontinental Hockey League and the general status of Russia were at the center of every conversation about him.

The Washington Capitals selected defensemen Cole Hutson (43rd overall) and Leon Muggli (52ndoverall), left wings Ilya Protas (75th overall) and Eriks Mateiko (90th overall), goaltender Nicholas Kempf (114thoverall) and centers Petr Sikora (178th overall) and Miroslav Satan (212th overall) on the second day of the 2024 NHL Draft at Sphere in Las Vegas. On Friday, the Capitals selected right wing Terik Parascak with the 17th overall pick.

2023-24 Team: Omsk Jr. (MHL) NHL Central Scouting: 36th (among EU skaters) While the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) is one of the best leagues outside the NHL, the MHL (Minor Hockey League) is a significant step down from other U20 junior leagues like the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and the United States Hockey League (USHL). Defencemen seem to have an especially difficult time developing in the MHL, and if they don’t make the jump to the KHL by their draft season, it’s usually not a good sign. Even those who dominate the league don’t have a leg up on furthering their career outside Russia.

The Sabres missed the playoffs yet again in 2023-24 and have to continue to build in the draft if they want to get back into the postseason.
