2024 NHL Draft Rankings – Forbes’ Top 100 for May
May 11, 2024 by Andrew Forbes
Britney sang it best when she said, “Oops, I did it again!”
That’s exactly how I feel coming back with another set of my 2024 NHL Draft rankings. Graduating from just 96 prospects and adding four more to reach that 100 mark, there has been a lot of movement on the list — including some players jumping into the first-round conversation.
Seattle Kraken Options with 8th Pick at the 2024 NHL Draft
May 10, 2024 by Edgar Chaput
On Tuesday, the NHL held its annual NHL Draft Lottery. It makes for a different topic of conversation while the Stanley Cup Playoffs rage on. It’s also a big moment on the NHL calendar because teams that missed the playoffs or who were ousted in the earlier rounds get to ponder what moves they might make at the draft. Such is the case for the Seattle Kraken. As was predicted by many, Seattle will select eighth in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. It’s not the most alluring spot, but beggars can’t be choosers. Today we have a gander at some potential draftees who might be called upon to adorn Kraken colors next season.

Utah in Familiar Territory With 6th Pick in 2024 NHL Draft
May 11, 2024 by Cooper Krigbaum
Hours before the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery, a post on Twitter/X showed what seemed to be the lottery results, which saw Utah jump four spots, picking second overall. Of course, this would be the only time the team would’ve moved up in Arizona Coyotes/Utah history. That image was deemed to be a rehearsal and has since been deleted. It was too good to be true, as there was no movement in the NHL Draft Lottery.
What Can Red Wings Fans Expect From the 15th Overall Pick?
May 13, 2024 by Logan Horn
The Detroit Red Wings will select 15th overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The draft lottery took place last week, and Detroit (big surprise) didn’t win the draft lottery. However, the positive thing is that they weren’t leap-frogged either, sticking with their most likely spot at 15. The San Jose Sharks were lucky enough to win the lottery, and will select first overall after one of the most abysmal NHL seasons we’ve seen in recent memory.
Los Angeles Kings’ 2024 NHL Draft Targets
May 13, 2024 by Michael Ostrower
The Los Angeles Kings own their first-round selection for the first time since 2021 when they selected Brandt Clarke. Since that selection, they have begun the process of adding high-level talent to begin contending for the Stanley Cup once again. They can add to their prospect pool by owning the 21st overall selection in the 2024 draft, so who could be available then?
