NHL mock draft: Who will Utah target with the No. 6 pick?
Boston University forward Macklin Celebrini skates during the second period of an NCAA hockey game against Massachusetts on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, in Boston. With the order of the first 23 selections now set following Tuesday’s draft lottery, I’ve made each of those picks .
Denver forward Carter King and defenseman Zeev Buium skate as time expires to end a semifinal game against Boston University at the Frozen Four NCAA college hockey tournament Thursday, April 11, 2024, in St. Paul, Minn. , Dylan Guenther, Daniil But, etc.) and on defense allows them to focus on taking the best player.
Iginla to the Flames makes a lot of sense, and doesn’t feel like a nepotism pick, either. Many believe he’s going to go in this range and he fits with the type of players the Flames have drafted. Plus, they don’t have to worry about whether he’ll want to stay, which, whether they’d admit it or not, does feel like it still looms over the Flames after the departures ofand Samuel Honzek are all very good players; I’ve always been higher on those first two than most.
I think the Red Wings could really use an injection of a skill-first type at forward in their pool, and there are two of them here in Sennecke and Trevor Connelly, but I’ve said that over the last couple of drafts and they just keep going after the well-rounded, projectable top-nine players with high-end work ethic. Brandsegg-Nygard fits their DNA to a tee and has real secondary offense as a scorer with some B-level skill/feel/skating to complement his motor and competitiveness.
