2024 NHL Draft: Baracchini’s Mock Draft
May 14, 2024 by Peter Baracchini
With the draft lottery completed and the first 23 spots of the 2024 NHL Draft being set, we’re getting that much closer to the two two-day spectacle at The Sphere in Las Vegas. As a result, I thought it would be fun to do a little mock draft ahead of time.

Montreal Canadiens: Drafting Is Not for Pleasing, It’s for Winning
May 14, 2024 by Karine Hains
The oldest franchise in the NHL doesn’t operate within the same rules as other teams; they have unwritten rules to contend with. First, the Montreal Canadiens head coach must speak French.
