The NHL Draft is in June and being held in a new Las Vegas landmark.
The 2024 NHL Draft begins on June 28 and finishes June 29 as the world's top undrafted, but draft eligible, hockey players will hear their names called. Macklin Celebrini is likely to hear his name early during the draft, especially after landing as the No. 1 player on the lastest prospect list at FloHockey.
The San Jose Sharks own the No. 1 pick and the Chicago Blackhawks, who had the No. 1 pick in 2023, will pick second. The first 16 picks were sorted out on May 7 during the NHL Draft Lottery. The Sharks not only have the No. 1 pick, but own the No. 14 pick as well due to a 2023 trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
