The 2023-24 NHL season is complete. The Florida Panthers are the Stanley Cup champions. And now, it's time for the offseason to go into full swing.
That also means the 2024 NHL draft is just around the corner. The two-day event will be held at the Sphere in Las Vegas this weekend, with the first round taking place Friday and the final six rounds occurring Saturday.
The San Jose Sharks own the No. 1 overall pick for the first time in franchise history. They previously had the No. 2 selection three times (1991, 1996, 1997), but they've never been the NHL team to be on the clock first at the draft.
