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 New York Islanders needed to have a great draft, considering the state of their farm system and roster. The 2024 NHL Entry Draft, in which they had three selections in the first two rounds, allowed general manager (GM) Lou Lamoriello to make significant upgrades. The results are a mixed bag.

The Minnesota Wild took the bull by the horns on Friday night. They did what 10 other teams should have done and that is draft Zeev Buium out of Denver University. He was projected to go in the top five but he started to slip a little bit. By the time he got to 10, it was a shock that the New Jersey Devils didn’t take him. Then, the San Jose Sharks passed on him at 11. Both NJ and SJ took defensemen in those spots too.

Anaheim, CA

With the 35th overall pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the Anaheim Ducks have selected Lucas Pettersson from MoDo Hockey of the J20 Nationell. Lucas Pettersson is a center prospect who skates quickly, works hard, and has shown a good scoring touch in Sweden’s top junior league this year. Pettersson was a leader for Sweden at last Summer’s Hlinka Gretzky Cup, scoring four points in as many games, and was a major factor for their U18 World Championship team in May.

On June 28, 2024, history was made in more ways than one. Personally, we had a small family gathering to watch the 2024 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Level Draft. It was the first time my parents, and possibly my aunt and uncle, watched an NHL draft. Sitting on the...

Did the Detroit Red Wings play it safe taking The Taxi, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård?

Okay, a disclaimer is in order: I’m a huge fan of Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and the straightforward game he possesses is one that screams mistake-free hockey for the most part and solid play. Players like Brandsegg-Nygard are pivotal for championship hockey, or at least that will be the case when he’s eventually playing in the NHL.

The Buffalo Sabres selected forward Konsta Helenius out of Jukurit of Finland with the 14th overall pick of the 2024 NHL Draft. General Manager Kevyn Adams was reportedly pursuing a trade with the first-round selection but couldn’t land something. Instead, they find value amidst the chaos of the draft, as teams defied consensus and picked to preference.

With the overall 13th pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers select center Jett Luchanko from the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League. The Flyers acquired the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and a third-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.

Flyers Select Jett Luchanko with the 13th Pick in Round One of the NHL Draft

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.

Michael Brandsegg-Nygard certainly fits the mold of the type of player Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman likes to select in the first round of the NHL entry draft. He’s Scandinavian. Like Lucas Raymond, Simon Edvinsson and Marco Kasper before him, Brandsegg-Nygard plays professionally in Sweden. The 6-foot-1, 207-pound...
