2024 NHL Draft: Horn’s Final 2-Round Mock Draft
June 24, 2024 by Logan Horn
With the 2024 NHL Draft less than a week away, I wanted to take one final look at what the first two rounds of the 2024 NHL Draft could look like. We know the teams who hold the first 30 picks already, but the final two picks in the draft order won’t be set until Monday night when the Panthers and the Oilers faceoff in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. As a result, I will be going off of regular season points percentage for their placements in this mock.
2024 NHL Draft: Reimer’s Final 3-Round Rankings
June 24, 2024 by Dayton Reimer
With the 2024 NHL Draft just days away, there’s just enough time to publish one final ranking. For some of you, this will be the first time you’ve checked out my rankings, but others may remember my first ranking that came out back in March as a premium piece on The Hockey Writers’ Substack.
With it being my first ranking, I limited myself to 40 prospects that I considered the most interesting and wrote a detailed breakdown of why I believed they were either first-round talents or just on the cusp. That seemed like a low enough number to provide plenty of detail without sacrificing quality, and since I’d never published any of my rankings before, I knew it would be a lot of work to put together. Yet I still wasn’t prepared for how much work it would entail, especially if I wanted to justify why one prospect ranked 28th and not 25th. After hours of tape and even more spent contemplating my decisions, I settled on something I was proud of and sat back to enjoy my accomplishment.

Flyers Getting New Shot at Superstar Development with Matvei Michkov
June 24, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
Nothing is certain yet, but it’s looking like 19-year-old prospect Matvei Michkov will be a member of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2024-25. He is the type of talent that every rebuilder hopes to end up getting—he is one of the best prospects that the Flyers have ever had. Aside from how good he is as a player at such a young age, he ultimately represents something far bigger.
