2024 NHL Draft: Full 32 team first round mock draft

Picks 21-32

There are diamonds in the rough to consider late in the 1st round

21. LAK - Jett Luchanko, C, Guelph

Jett Luchanko would fit right in with the Los Angeles Kings if he proves worthy of being an NHL player. That is why he's selected here at 21.

22. NSH - Igor Chernyshov, LW, MHK Dynamo Moskva

The Nashville Predators are known for drafting defensemen well but they need some scoring in the long-term.. They take a chance on Igor Chernyshov here.

23. TOR - Sacha Boisvert, C, Muskegon

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have to make some changes soon. Drafting Sacha Boisvert (who is headed to the University of North Dakota) will help them with that transition.

24. COL - Andrew Basha, LW, Medicine Hat

The Colorado Avalanche have been very successful with developing first round picks. Andrew Basha of Medicine Hat would love to be taken there.

25. BOS - Cole Beaudoin, C, Barrie

The Boston Bruins will look for immediate help at the center-ice position but they might as well add some depth to the organization for the future. They do that with Cole Beaudoin at 25.

26. MTL - Cole Hutson, D, USNTDP

The Montreal Canadiens add Cole Hutson at 26. Of course, his brother Lane Hutson is expected to be one of the team's best defensemen for a long time. Adding the brother would add extra jump to both.

27. CAR - EJ Emery, D, USNTDP

EJ Emery, a defenseman, is the pick for the Carolina Hurricanes. They develop this position well which is important since they will be losing a few guys soon.

28. CGY - Nikita Artamonov, F, Torpedo

The Calgary Flames are in a full blown rebuild now. Nikita Artamonov is the pick for them at 28th overall. They can take their time with development now.

29. DAL - Emil Hemming, RW, TPS

The Dallas Stars turn every first and second round pick into gold. That would make Emil Hemming happy to go there 29th overall.

30. NYR - Ryder Ritchie, RW, Prince Albert

The New York Rangers better start hitting on their first round picks otherwise their window of contention won't last long. Ryder Ritchie is their latest attempt at pick 30.

31. ANA - Terik Parascak, RW, Prince George

The Anaheim Ducks use this selection given to them by the Edmonton Oilers to select Terik Parascak out of Prince George.

32. PHI - Charlie Elick, RD, Brandon

The Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers gave this pick to the Philadelphia Flyers and they will never regret it. With the pick, the Flyers take Charlie Elick out of Brandon.
