The NHL offseason is now in full swing with the 2024 NHL Draft set to begin on Friday evening in Las Vegas. The San Jose Sharks own the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft after winning the NHL Draft Lottery last month.
The Sharks will likely pick Boston University star Macklin Celebrini. For the second consecutive season, the NHL’s top selection will likely come in and contribute at the NHL level right away after Connor Bedard did so with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2023-24. The Sharks are in the midst of a rebuild after trading veteran players like Erik Karlsson and Tomas Hertl over the past year.
Celebrini will certainly be the most polarizing player when the 2024 NHL Draft class is mentioned. However, there’s plenty of other talented prospects that will likely hear their names called early on, including Michigan State defenseman Artyom Levsunov, Russian defenseman Anton Silayev, WHL center Cayden Lindstrom and Russian winger Ivan Demidov.
CBS Sports will have you covered with all of the action from Las Vegas throughout the night.
