After a grueling Stanley Cup Playoffs, the off-season has begun, and the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft is scheduled for Friday night in Las Vegas. Anticipate fireworks and surprises in the first round, with a potential major move already in the works before the evening kicks off.
Elliotte Friedman's latest report highlights a potential blockbuster trade involving the Columbus Blue Jackets and the No. 4 overall pick, with significant interest from the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes.
The Flyers approached the Blue Jackets, who made a substantial offer: they requested three first-round picks from Philadelphia, including this year's and Colorado's pick next year. As of now, Philadelphia has not accepted the offer, but discussions could continue up until the draft, suggesting a different team might end up making the selection at No. 4 overall.
