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.Â
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.

Red Wings Have History on Their Side with 15th Pick in 2024 NHL Draft
May 12, 2024 by Jordan Orth
With the NHL Draft Lottery taking place on May 7, the Detroit Red Wings (and the entire league, for that matter) find themselves right where the odds had them at pick number 15 for the 2024 Draft. While the Red Wings have picked at that slot a few times over the last 10 drafts (Dylan Larkin in 2014, Sebastian Cossa in 2021), there have also been a number of instances in the past that should help give fans some hope and excitement that the team could end up getting a player who will become a big piece of the future.
Red Wings: 3 Biggest Needs in 2024 NHL Draft
May 12, 2024 by Devin Little
With the NHL draft lottery officially behind us, the Detroit Red Wings are locked into the 15th position in all seven rounds (excluding the fourth round where they hold the Dallas Stars’ pick instead of their own.) This is the lowest their first round pick has been since the 2014 draft where they selected a kid named Dylan Larkin.
