First-round order and top prospects for 2024 NHL draft

The Stanley Cup Final has ended with a Florida Panthers championship and with that, the first round of the NHL draft is set.

The Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators also changed up the order with a trade just before Game 7 began.

The champion Panthers get the 32nd pick and the runner-up Edmonton Oilers pick No. 31. But they already traded those picks, so the Philadelphia Flyers (32) and Anaheim Ducks (31) will choose instead.

The first 16 slots were set after the draft lottery, with the San Jose Sharks winning and retaining the top pick. None of the non-playoff teams moved up or down. The next 12 picks went to the teams eliminated in the first two rounds. Picks Nos. 29 and 30 went to the conference final losers.

Monday’s trade of goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Senators gives Ottawa’s No. 1 pick (originally Boston’s) to the Bruins.
