The 2024 NHL Entry Draft is almost upon us which means it’s time for our annual mock draft. As is tradition, we’ve picked the entire first round. In addition, we’ve also picked Montreal’s next three selections after the top round.
While the Habs have a lot of young left-shot defenders already, Zeev Buium has a chance to be better than any of them. Accordingly, he’s someone they’ll likely be considering with the fifth-overall pick on Friday.
We’ve reached the final group of our final draft rankings. With the Habs holding the fifth pick on Friday night, several of these players will be among the ones they’ll be considering for that selection.
These next players in our draft rankings are likely out of reach for the Montreal Canadiens as they are too late to select with the fifth overall selection and will be gone to select with the Winnipeg first-rounder. However, if they want one of them, they could always look to trade to move up to get that prospect.
Tij Iginla didn’t have a great start to his season but a strong second half helped get him into the conversation as a possible top-ten pick this week. If the Habs are looking for a versatile forward, they could give him serious consideration at fifth overall.
Our next group of first-round prospects fall into a range where the Habs might be hoping that some of these players slip to 26 but more realistically, they may have to try to trade up to get one of them.
Who might the Habs select with Winnipeg’s first round pick acquired for Sean Monahan at the 2024 trade deadline? They’ll likely be considering several of the players in this grouping of our final draft rankings.
