The 2024 NHL Draft is here this weekend. Just hours away from now, over 200 teenaged hockey players will get drafted by one of 32 teams and a major chapter begins in their hockey journey.
But beyond all the storybookness of this event, there is some real talent. And not just the talent that will be taken in the first round that will get all the spotlight on Friday night — no, we’re talking about diving deep into the middle of the rounds and players who will be picked in the triple digits.
There has been so much digital ink spilled on the first 32 picks and names that if you are a major hockey fan, should be familiar with enough by now.
