The NHL regular season is quickly coming to a close and half the league will soon shift focus towards the 2024 NHL Draft.
Nine franchises have been eliminated from playoff contention, which solidifies a spot in the draft lottery. 11 teams have clinched playoff spots, which means that the remaining 12 teams are fighting to see if they will be hoping for a playoff run or a lucky break in the lottery.
While the teams prepare to face the final stretch of the season, the top prospects are also preparing. Some have more collegiate or junior play ahead of them, others will show what they can do in international tournaments while the rest are gearing up for the pre-draft process.
