The 2024 NHL Entry Draft is but days away. Like the other 31 franchises, the Seattle Kraken are performing their due diligence, cramming in as much last-minute information as possible to decide what they want to do on June 28 and 29. Every prospect writer, podcaster, and YouTuber has shared their thoughts about who the top players are and who might be selected in the later rounds. We at The Hockey Writers have produced no fewer than three Seattle Kraken-centric articles; attempts at predicting what the Kraken might strive to accomplish in Rounds 1, 2, and 3. Today, in our final pre-draft article, we go the whole nine yards with a mock draft.
