The 2024 NHL Draft presented by Upper Deck arrives this week and with it the next glimpses of the Nashville Predators’ future.
With eight picks in this year’s draft - all but one of which land in the first four rounds - Predators General Manager Barry Trotz has a golden opportunity to add some high-end talent to a prospect pool already brimming with bright, young players.
Of course, all eyes will naturally be on Nashville’s first-round selection, which falls at 22nd overall - a position the Predators have never picked at before.
Below are just a few of the names the Predators could call when they take the stage at Sphere in Las Vegas on Friday evening.
Remember, Smashville can catch all the action on ESPN/ESPN+ at or at the Predators 2024 NHL Draft Watch Party at Draft Picks Restaurant & Bar inside of Ford Ice Center Bellevue on Friday, June 28 starting at 6 p.m. CT.
