In this meeting, our team of scouts debate to construct their Final Top 128 rankings for the 2024 NHL Draft class! While the #1 pick may be unanimous, this draft class as a whole is quite open, all the way from the Top 10 to the 3rd-round range, leaving a bunch of room for discussion. We are so proud of the work the whole team has put in for this draft class all season long and cannot wait to see how the draft ends up unfolding on June 28-29!
