The San Jose Sharks have the No. 1 pick this year. They had the best odds to get that top pick based on their record in the 2023-2024 season.

The next big thing in hockey is Macklin Celebrini, the unanimous No. 1 prospect of the 2024 NHL draft class.

Celebrini is also the son of Rick Celebrini, the Warriors vice president of player health and performance.
