2024 NHL Draft top prospects: Macklin Celebrini leads Scott Wheelers early ranking

Welcome to my first official look at the 2024 NHL Draft class.

This early ranking is one of six that I will release before next year’s draft. It will be followed by my preseason top 32 (August or September), my preliminary top 64 (November), my midseason top 64 (February), an updated top 32 post-U18 Worlds (May), and my final top 100 (June).

The class of 2024, which is made up predominantly of players born in 2006, is led by two A-level forward prospects (neither look A-plus level to me) at the very top, but looks like it could be defined by a strong crop of defensemen (half of the 24 players listed here are D, three as many as when I put together my first list for the 2023 class this time a year ago).

With the caveat that a lot will change between now and when these names are called (maybe particularly so for this age group considering the crucial final years of minor hockey they lost to the pandemic), here are my initial scouting reports for the top 24, plus 40 other names who’ve either caught my attention in viewings, present well in the data, or I’ve heard good things about. Though I’ve watched all 24 of those who are ranked here, I have not watched all of the quote-unquote others.

1. Macklin Celebrini — C, Chicago Steel, six feet

Celebrini has, so far, travelled the path of a true star-forward prospect. He doesn’t profile in the Connor Bedard, Connor McDavid, or Sidney Crosby echelon, but he was a star at Shattuck-St. Mary’s, he has looked like a star as one of the youngest players in the USHL with the Chicago Steel this season (where he put together the most prolific 16-year-old season in the league’s history), and I’m confident he’s going to look like a star as the youngest player in college hockey at BU next season. What he has done this year, leading the USHL in goals and points, would be impressive even if he were on the older side of 2024 draft eligibles (like Adam Fantilli was when he scored at about half of Celebrini’s rate in his rookie season in the USHL). It’s even more impressive because of his June birthday.

His profile has it all, too. The Steel are now listing him at six feet and 199 pounds. He’s a natural center. He plays with confidence and presence that is rare in a player his age, consistently looking to attack and dictate with the puck. He’s also an intelligent off-puck player who understands timing, routes, and how to get open and make himself available without the puck in his hands. He’s a plus-level skater. He’s a hard-working player defensively and into battles and races for pucks. He’s got dynamic puck skill that allows him to break down opponents and coverage at speed. He’s also a tactile shooter and finisher who can get pucks off in a variety of ways, from a variety of stances, and without needing to tunnel vision for it. And though his stats skewed towards goals this year, that had more to do with his linemates and role than with his style (he’s a natural scorer, but he doesn’t tunnel vision for it and also play-makes at an advanced level).

2. Cole Eiserman — LW/RW, U.S. NTDP, 5-foot-11

Though Celebrini is the consensus frontrunner for No. 1 in 2024, I truly believe Eiserman has a real chance to challenge him and is an equal prospect in terms of tier at the moment. Though Celebrini plays the more coveted position and is the superb skater of the two, Eiserman is slightly more exciting as an individual talent, with an exhilarating ability to beat defenders and goalies one-on-one. He possesses one of the better shots and sets of hands I’ve seen in a 16-year-old, and is actually two and a half months younger than Celebrini, with a late-August birthday that will make him one of the youngest players in the draft. It should be a fun back-and-forth throughout next season, too, because they’re actually both close friends who came up at Shattuck playing together.

Eiserman’s a dynamic shot creator who has taken whatever he has wanted all season at the NTDP this year, both with the U17 team, where he scored at a goal per game and chased down records at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, as well as more recently with the U18 team, where he has continued to score every night in advance of playing as an underage at U18 Worlds.

I actually think Eiserman’s a better skater than he has been given credit for in initial conversations I’ve had with folks about him, but it’s his dancing puck skill, quick release, shot variety (he can rip it in motion, off catch-and-releases, standing still, and from a one-timer, and he’ll make goalies guess wrong in alone because of how fast his hands are), and sneaky strength that allows him to create at will against his peers. He looks to me like he’s on a one-and-done track through the University of Minnesota to NHL stardom.

3. Artyom Levshunov — RHD, Green Bay Gamblers, 6-foot-2

Belarus has produced two top-10 picks at the NHL Draft, but Levshunov looks like he’s got a real chance to be the country’s first top-five selection after a stellar rookie season in North America saw him put together a comparable season (a more productive one in actuality) in the USHL to the one Owen Power put together at the same age. And while Levshunov’s on the older side of the first-year eligibles for 2024 because of his October 2005 birthday, so was Power with his November birthday.

Levshunov’s profile checks all of the boxes teams are looking for in a high-end defenseman. He’s a righty with a pro build already. He’s a smooth skater with plus-level four-way mobility and good length. Though he was a little green defensively when he arrived in the USHL, he made fast progress and really figured it out this year. He’s a heady passer and carrier who can comfortably lead exits and entries. He walks the line proficiently and manages the game well in control. And while I wouldn’t say he’s dynamic offensively just yet per se, he picks his spots well and plays with poise and confidence. With a little more ambition and fine-tuning, there’s huge upside in his game.

4. Ivan Demidov — RW/LW, SKA St. Petersburg, 5-foot-11

Demidov is a highly-skilled, playmaking winger who finished third in the MHL in scoring this year (extremely rare for a player his age in a league typically dominated by 19- and 20-year-olds) and played at a higher point-per-game pace than the two players in front of him while playing alongside his older brother, Semyon. He’s on the older side as a December 2005, and he’s got work to do to get stronger and smooth out his skating stride, but he’s a play-creation monster and you want the puck in his hands so that he can slither his way around the ice to make things happen for himself or his linemates. He’s also a very engaged off-puck player who keeps his feet moving, hunts pucks on the forecheck, and can turn a steal into a game-breaking play in an instant. He’s not at Matvei Michkov’s level, but he still looks — at this age — like he’s one of the more talented prospects to come out of Russia in recent memory.

5. Aron Kiviharju — LHD, TPS, 5-foot-10

Kiviharju is the name on this list who has been on the scene the longest. He made the leap to Finland’s top junior league at 15 and didn’t just play but excelled, immediately becoming one of its most productive defensemen and even wearing a letter on his jersey. He then played and starred at the U18 worlds in Germany at 16, topping Finland’s blue line with six points in six games to help steer them (figuratively, but also literally steering the game on the ice) to a silver medal. This year, after an excellent preseason with TPS, it looked like he might play his way into being the youngest full-time player in Liiga and at the World Juniors. But then neither of those things happened and he bounced between levels and was one of the final cuts for Finland’s under-20 national team. And now he’s making a move away from TPS and will reportedly join HIFK for his draft year. He’s going to need a big year for teams to use a top-five pick on a diminutive defenseman next summer, but I still like him in this draft’s second tier behind the two top forwards even if NHL scouts would be a little hesitant here at the moment. I fully expect him to show out with the Finnish U18 team in Switzerland next month, too.

I’m a huge fan of the way Kiviharju plays the game. He manages play in front of him with incredible poise and comfort, directing and influencing play all the way down the ice. He’s a joy to watch advance play under pressure inside his own zone, effortlessly side-stepping forecheckers to skate or headman pucks. He walks the line beautifully, with a knack for shaping shots through to the net. His first touch on the move is always perfectly caught. He’s clever. He processes the game faster than the opposition and sees things that others don’t see. And he’s a smart defender who gaps up well and gets pucks going the other way quickly with little bump passes and exits in order to offset some of his size limitations. I think it would be shortsighted to rule out top-four upside because of his height.

6. Berkly Catton — C, Spokane Chiefs, 5-foot-11

The No. 1 pick in the 2021 WHL Bantam Draft, Catton impressed both in the WHL (where he quickly became an offensive catalyst on a bad team and finished second on Spokane in scoring) and at World Under-17 Hockey Challenge (where he captained Canada Red to silver and led them in scoring with 12 points in seven games) this year. Catton’s a heady playmaker who uses spacing to his advantage and sees the ice at an advanced level, regularly executing quick plays through coverage or delaying into a pre-planned one. He’s got multi-dimensional skill, with an ability to play both with speed on the rush and more slowly inside the offensive zone when the pace ramps down. I’m very much looking forward to seeing what he does next season, because it feels like he’s got another level to find still and that’s after having already fit right in as a rookie who was asked to play center on a top line and handled it extremely well (he even won the majority of his draws this year).

7. Henry Mews — RHD, Ottawa 67’s, six feet

The No. 7 pick in the 2022 OHL Priority Selection, Mews played an important role on one of the best teams in the CHL this as a rookie this season and had a stellar showing as the captain of the otherwise-disappointing Canada White at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in the fall, tying for the team scoring lead with eight points in six games.

Mews is an athletic, right-handed shot who is capable of consistently driving and tilting play from the backend. When he’s at his best, he dictates play by regularly looking to activate into the rush or off the line, and by defending hard when spacing allows. I love his attack, take-instead-of-give mentality, and it’s complemented by a good frame, an NHL shot and skating, and a fairly polished game in all three zones for a defenseman his age.

8. Konsta Helenius — C/RW, Tappara, 5-foot-10

After filling the stat sheet in Finland’s top junior league as a 16-year-old in the fall, and out-shining a strong group of Finnish forward prospects on route to a bronze at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge (where he capped off an 11-in-seven tournament with a four-point performance in the bronze medal game), Helenius played exclusively in Liiga on loan from Tappara to Jukurit this season after returning from the tournament at the end of November, registering 11 points in 33 games as the league’s youngest player. He’s a joy to watch navigate, manipulate and pass the puck. His ability to find his teammates in space and then get pucks to them with the perfect weight and timing, even while he’s well-covered, is fun to watch and I’m fascinated to see how far he can take it. Despite being on the smaller side, he also stirs the drink through his effort level, regularly coming up with pucks you don’t expect him to. Against his peers, he’s both a driver and a playmaker. He’ll need to get to the inside and finish a little more for himself if he’s going to be a top-10 pick, but there’s he has looked pretty clearly like he’s one of the draft’s most talented forwards in my viewing, and I like the determination he plays with. It’s also worth noting that Jukurit, a team that finished 11th in the 15-team Liiga and was outscored 165-155 this season, actually outscored the opposition 18-9 with a 16-year-old Helenius on the ice at even-strength this year.

9. Tanner Howe — C/LW, Regina Pats, 5-foot-10

Howe is going to be an interesting study next year. It will be his third full season in the WHL and his fourth in part. And despite having been really very productive to date (69 in 64 as the league’s second-most productive under-17 player and then 85 in 67 as the league’s fifth-most productive under-18 player), it still feels like his draft year is a prove-it year because the player at the top of both of those lists was Connor Bedard, his frequent linemate. He was also largely unnoticeable in front of the NHL’s brain trust in Germany at U18 worlds last year, despite playing alongside Bedard (a combination Team Canada probably was a little too reluctant to move off of) — although he was also the youngest player on that team. I think he’s up for the task of his draft year, though, and will stamp his place as one of the top forward prospects in the 2024 class. For one, he has played away from Bedard more than I think most people realize (including for stretches as the team’s second-line centre behind him) and has been successful in driving his own line. He is also by all accounts a competitor who is determined to rise to the challenge.

And then there’s his game, which there’s a lot to like about. He doesn’t necessarily wow you with his skill level for a player with his statistical profile, but he makes a lot of small area plays (little five-to-10-foot passes through feet and sticks under pressure), he always seems to be around the puck inside the offensive zone, he’s tenacious off the puck, and he’s got good all-around skill and skating. He may finish as more of a late first rounder, but I like him here for now and I think he’s going to surprise some folks next year.

10. Zayne Parekh — RHD, Saginaw Spirit, six feet

Parekh was one of the best stories in junior hockey this year. Despite having played just 50 of Saginaw’s 68 games after missing three weeks due to injury from the end of February into March and another couple for the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge (where he scored three goals and five points in seven games as the highest-scoring defenseman on the fourth-place-finishing Canada Black), he still broke the OHL’s all-time goals record by a U17 defenseman, scoring 21 times. An OHL Cup All-Star and first-round pick into the OHL even before his breakout season this year, Parekh plays an aggressive offensive style that looks to attack off the line into the slot or even the front of the net or below the goal line. He’ll also regularly involve himself in the rush much like a winger does, driving down the wall in control to look to put defenders on their heels with his skating and attack into his shot or create an odd-man rush. He’s got great hands and a balanced skating posture which helps him carry pucks and beat the first layer of pressure to get to his spots. He likes to roam, but he has learned to pick his spots well as well and his head is constantly on a swivel to identify where he is in relation to his teammates. He’s got great footwork and edges to manipulate across the line and stop up along the boards to change directions. He protects the puck extremely well with players leaning on him. And then he also defends at a high enough level to be given free rein to go out there and look to attack.

11. Maxim Massé — RW, Chicoutimi Saguenéens, 6-foot-1

The first forward taken in the QMJHL’s 2022 draft (No. 3), Massé lived up to the selection (which was not the consensus choice), playing to nearly a point per game and nearly 30 goals as a 16-year-old and the leading goal scorer (second in points) on a young Chicoutimi team. Massé, who has earned high praise from around the QMJHL his season, possesses a natural and versatile shot and above-average skill across the board. But it’s the completeness of his game that really stands out for a player his age. With continued work on his average skating, he’ll be a good NHL player. He reminds me of recent well-rounded QMJHL draft picks like Dawson Mercer and Zach Dean, though I think he may have a little more skill than the latter.

Chernyshov’s a November 2005 who has progressed in line with his older age, having established himself as a point-per-game MHL player who already has his first KHL goal under his belt (at 16 years and 352 days, he was actually the 11th-youngest player to ever play in a KHL game). He’s a rangy winger who plays a straight-lines game and has the individual skill and the quick release to go at defenders and make plays, or finish from the slot with a quick one-touch shot. He’s a smooth skater, too, which complements his rush game. I could envision him working his way into my top 10 next year.

13. Sam Dickinson — LHD, London Knights, 6-foot-3

It’s never easy to play a regular role for the Knights, especially as a 16-year-old (Dickinson’s another June birthday) and a defenseman. But that’s what Dickinson, the No. 4 pick of the Niagara IceDogs in last spring’s OHL draft who forced his way out, did this season, stepping into a blue line that initially had four drafted prospects plus top 2023 prospect Oliver Bonk, and finding a role. He’s a strong, 6-foot-3 defenseman who moves well, plays hard, and has some real skill with the puck. He’s the most cerebral player with the puck, but scouts are excited about his raw tools and potential upside.

14. Ryder Ritchie — RW, Prince Albert Raiders, 5-foot-10

Ritchie’s another in a long list of summer birthdays in this draft class who excelled as 16-year-olds in their respective leagues this season, in his case finishing third on a bottom-of-the-standings Prince Albert team in scoring at nearly a point per game. I liked what I saw of him at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, as well. Ritchie’s a diminutive but shifty playmaking winger who made some highlight-reel skill plays with the puck this season. He protects the puck extremely well given his size and will commonly shake past or around opposing players, building speed through his crossovers to hang onto the puck inside the offensive zone until a play presents itself. There’s also some real creativity to his game and while he’s more of a facilitator than a scorer, he’s also got a really nifty release that finished some beautiful snaps from mid-range. I have high expectations for him next season.

15. Cole Hutson — LHD, U.S. NTDP, 5-foot-8

A lot has been made of the three 2006-born towers (6-foot-5 top 2025 prospect Logan Hensler, 6-foot-4 2024 prospect Will Skahan, and 6-foot-3 2024 prospect EJ Emery) on the U17 team’s blue line at the program, and yet here I am ready to make an early bet that Cole Hutson will grow a couple of inches and emerge as the best of the bunch from the 2024 class (Hensler’s a different animal), just like I did with his older brother Lane. Cole’s point-per-game U17 year at the program has actually been more prolific than Lane’s was, and he has done it while four and a half months younger than Lane was at the same age. He’s not just the most talented defenseman on that team, but he has shown of late while up with the U18s that he’s the most skilled defenseman currently at the program. He’s also got more of a physical element to his game than Lane does and plays opponents really hard so that his size is less noticeable, gluing himself to them in order to be as disruptive as possible. It’s clear watching the program this year that both the U17s and U18 are so much better with him out there than without.

16. Adam Jiricek — RHD, HC Plzeň, 6-foot-1

Adam Jiricek, the younger brother of Blue Jackets top prospect David, is a summer birthday who has already worked his way from junior into Czechia’s top pro rung as a 16-year-old. He doesn’t have the size (yet) or I’m-going-to-take-over-this-game presence that his big brother does, but Adam plays the game with confidence and intention that still shows shades of David. He’s got good four-way mobility, an active disposition, balanced shooting mechanics, an eye for spacing and identifying opportunities to jump on both sides of the puck, and legit skill with the puck.

17. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård — RW, Mora IK, 6-foot-1

The best of a wave of Norwegian players who’ve joined Mora IK’s junior program, Brandsegg-Nygård is an October 2005 with a pro frame who played to above a point per game at the junior level this year and has already scored his first pro goal in HockeyAllsvenskan. He lost out on playoff action and a real chance to play for the senior men’s national team at worlds after undergoing knee surgery in March. He’s a multi-faceted shooter who can score from the top of the circles with his wrister but also gets down to one know and really powers through a good one-touch shot, skills which have helped him excel on both the flank and the bumper on the power play across domestic and international levels. He’s not a dynamic individual play creator but he’s got pro size, he engages himself in the play, he’s got good all-around skill, and he plays well off of his linemates.

18. Will Skahan — LHD, U.S. NTDP, 6-foot-4

Skahan’s a big, already 200-plus-pound defender with good mobility for a 16-year-old that size and more offense to his game than his stat line on the program’s U17 team this year shows. He outlets the puck well, he’s got a heavy shot, and with his frame and mobility, scouts are excited about his potential defensively. His father, Sean, is also a strength and conditioning coach who has worked with the Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks, so he comes by the power and strength in his game honestly. There’s a lot to work with there and I’m expecting him to take steps as a two-way defenseman with the U18 team next year.

19. Zeev Buium — LHD, U.S. NTDP, 5-foot-11

Because of his December 2005 birthday, Buium (the younger brother of Red Wings prospect Shai) entered the national program a year ahead of Eiserman, Hutson, Skahan and co. This year, in his second season, he has really hit his stride, too, becoming a real driver for the U18s. He’s a plus-level skater who plays a very involved game in all three zones, whether that’s activating into the rush or off the point, shaking pressure on exits or across the blue line, working in and out of give-and-goes, or playing tight gaps against the rush. When he’s dialled in, applying pressure on and off the puck, and using his feet and his skating to influence play, he can really impact a game. And while I wouldn’t say his skill level is super high-end for his size, he has come a long, long way as this season has gone on and played his best hockey in March. I think there’s a chance he ends up as more of a second-round guy as a projected third-pairing, predominantly even-strength player at the next level, but he’s intriguing enough to me to slot here for now. Shai is also 6-foot-3, so I wonder if he’s still going to grow and inch or two.

20. Veeti Vaisanen — LHD, KooKoo, six feet

Vaisanen, who has already played up a year to help Finland to bronze at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and is expected to be a big part of the national team at the U18 and U20 levels moving forward, is a competitive and smooth-skating two-way defenseman who has already established himself as a minute-eating player at Finland’s U20 level and recently made his Liiga debut in the playoffs with KooKoo. I like his stick, his gaps, and his positional awareness defensively. And he’s a heady, comfortable distributor and handler with the puck, even if his skill level on offense is more poised than dynamic.

21. Anthony Cristoforo — RHD, Windsor Spitfires, 5-foot-11

An important part of a top team in the OHL this season, Cristoforo’s play took him off the table at the trade deadline when the Spitfires were looking to add. By year’s end, his 41 points in 63 games were one more than Ducks top-10 pick Jamie Drysdale’s 40 in his 16-year-old OHL season (in the exact same number of games), and three more than Kings top-10 pick Brandt Clarke’s (in six more games) in his. He was also a big part of Canada Red’s silver medal at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, where he wore an ‘A’ and performed well at both ends. He doesn’t possess the effortless skating stride that made Drysdale a top-10 pick or the bold play-creating that made Clarke one, but he’s an extremely well-rounded player who boats strong edges and good skating in his own right, plays and defends really hard shift-to-shift, and has plenty of skill but always seems to make the right decisions. He’s got what you want from a 5-foot-11 defenseman.

22. Carter Yakemchuk — RHD, Calgary Hitmen, 6-foot-2

Yakemchuk was the only 2024 draft-eligible to make one of the WHL’s All-Star Teams when he was named a Central Division Second All-Star last week. Only a couple of weeks away from being eligible for the 2023 draft, he played a big role for a middle-of-the-pack Hitmen team this season and his 19 goals were third-most by a defenseman behind only 19-year-old Hudson Thornton and Ducks top prospect Olen Zellweger. While his game does come with some give and take, he’s got pro size, a pro shot, and an attack mentality that looks to take charge of shifts. He also protects the puck really well for a defenseman, which allows him to make the most of his decisions to involve himself in the play around the offensive zone. It’s not uncommon to see him take a puck to the inside off the wall or even from below the goal line in the offensive zone much like a forward would. And while I’d say he’s a good but not great defender, he plays hard at both ends.

23. Alexander Zetterberg — C/RW, Örebro, 5-foot-8

The 2006 age group doesn’t appear to be a strong one for Sweden, but the diminutive Zetterberg, a natural centre to date who NHL teams will probably scout as a winger, is a lot of fun to watch and may factor into the first-round conversation on talent and skating (he’s got great speed, which helps to offset some of the strength deficiencies when he’s playing down the middle). He’s got a magnetic ability with the puck and because of his light, airy skating mechanics he’s able to dart past defenders in transition, knife through coverage, and quickly escape the boards out of won foot races in order to avoid having to engage in too many battles along the wall. Even if he lights up the J20 level next year and shows he can hang in stints in the pro ranks, there are teams that won’t likely rank him in this kind of range.

24. Emil Hemming — LW/RW, TPS, 6-foot-2

Hemming is a raw but potentially very interesting prospect who battled inconsistencies in his play and deployment at Finland’s U20 level this year with TPS (I wouldn’t be surprised if, like Kiviharju, he wasn’t thrilled with how he was handled late in the year after showing so much promise in the fall). He had a strong showing at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge before an illness kept him out of Finland’s last two games, and had a six-point hat-trick with TPS in October. Hemming has clear tools as a 6-foot-2, nearly-200-pound winger with real individual skill as both a handler and a shooter. I’d like to see him use his size a little better, but that’s not uncommon for a player his age and he’s yet another summer birthday with a lot of runway to work with.

The ranking

As always, I’ve broken down the full ranking into tiers to give you a better sense of the fluidity within groupings and the drop-offs between them. This (very early) list divides into four tiers. They are: 1-2, 3-6, 7-12, 13-24+. That last tier is subject to significant fluctuations.
