With the Stanley Cup Final set between the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights, the top 30 picks are set for our third 2023 NHL Mock Draft of the year.
The top two selections already seem like a lock with Connor Bedard destined to join the Chicago Blackhawks after they won the draft lottery earlier this month followed by Michigan center Adam Fantilli appearing to be the consolation prize for the Anaheim Ducks.
The rest, however, is ultimately unknown.
