2024 NHL Draft odds, prop picks, & predictions. Best bets for the NHL Entry Draft on June 28 and 29, featuring prospective No. 1 pick Macklin Celebrini and Ivan Demidov.
Macklin Celebrini is on his way to San Jose before the 2024 NHL Entry Draft even begins, but all signs point to Ivan Demidov being the next player to hear his name called.With it widely accepted the San Jose Sharks are selecting Boston University center Macklin Celebrini with the first overall selection in the 2024 Draft, the action starts with the Chicago Blackhawks and the No. 2 pick.
It’s been suggested the Chicago Blackhawks have a decision in the two spot between Belarusian defenseman Artyom Levshunov and Russian winger Ivan Demidov, but I just don’t agree. Levshunov is the betting favorite to be selected second overall, and he profiles as a franchise defenseman who leaves a mark at both ends of the ice.
If Demidov doesn't go to Chicago, I don’t anticipate him slipping in the draft far enough to be selected after Medicine Hat Tigers center Cayden Lindstrom. It isn’t a knock on Lindstrom because he’s the prototypical power forward teams covet who's a fast, fluid skater with excellent puck skills. Who had two Norwegians going in the first round and just a single Finn and Swede on their bingo card? Fittingly, the two have a betting market for who’ll be selected first, and I’m expecting it to be the well-rounded Michael Brandsegg-Nygard.
