Predicting how the NHL Draft will unfold is usually very difficult but this year might be even more challenging as it is a down year for some typical sources of talent. The USNTDP and Sweden are not expected to turn out many first round selections in 2024 and the OHL isn’t quite as deep as usual, which means some crutches for safe picks may not be available. A lot more Russians populate this draft board and even a selection or two from Norway may sneak into the first round. Truly, nothing should be a surprise in this draft class.
