With the 2023-24 NHL season around the corner, it's fantasy hockey draft time!

The second annual "NHL Fantasy on Ice Draft," presented by Jersey Mike's, is available to watch now on the NHL's YouTube channel. 📺

The mock draft was hosted by Alexa Landestoy; the eight fantasy managers were Pete Jensen, Nick Alberga and Anna Dua of the "NHL Fantasy on Ice" podcast, Lauren Jbara, Jonny Lazarus, Steve Dangle, Arda Ocal and Michael Leboff.

Other than the top pick, universal No. 1 fantasy player Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, this mock draft was very unpredictable and took into account all the most intriguing statistics and trends around the NHL leading up to the new season.
