In the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft with 32 tickets, Swiss ice hockey players came away empty-handed. This is likely to change in the coming series.
The experts give Zug defenceman Leon Muggli the best chances for the second draft day. ZSC defenseman Daniil Ustinkov could also be drafted early. Ideally, up to five Swiss talents will be considered.
Canadian forward Macklin Celebrini received the No. 1 draft pick. The left-hander had been considered the favorite and was drafted by the San Jose Sharks.
