UK's Pope On Following Calipari: 'Have To Be Me'
The 2024 NHL draft will take place at The Sphere in Las Vegas on June 28 and 29. Hundreds of prospects will be selected over the course of the seven-round event, and the first 16 picks have been determined by way of the NHL draft lottery.
After finishing the 2023-24 season with the worst record, the San Jose Sharks had the best chance to win the draft lottery -- and did so. The Chicago Blackhawks -- who won the draft lottery and selected Connor Bedard No. 1 last year -- have pick No. 2.
Here is a list of the first 30 picks, which will be updated after the full draft order is known following the end of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs.
