2024 NHL Draft: What Picks Do the Other Central Division Teams Own?

Jun 28, 2024

Chicago Blackhawks

The 2024 NHL Draft is coming quickly, folks. We know the Chicago Blackhawks have the No. 2 overall pick (and No. 18) in the first round. But the Central Division is going to absolutely run this draft.

Including the Blackhawks (who own six), the Central Division will (as of now) make 30 of the first 100 overall selections this year. Along with Chicago’s six, the Utah Hockey Club will make eight, the Nashville Predators will make six and the St. Louis Blues will make five. So get ready for an active draft weekend inside the division as some of these picks might become trade pieces as well.

Let’s look at which picks each team in the division owns heading into the 2024 NHL Draft. We’ll list them in the order teams finished the 2023-24 regular season in the Central Division.

Note: This is as of Thursday, June 25. As any trades take place before Friday, June 28, we’ll update this post.
