The NCAA Men's Hockey Tournament, as is often the case, will be a great show for the NHL's leading players currently playing college hockey. To help you prepare for the tournament, FloHockey has compiled a list of all NHL prospects who will be participating in the event in the coming weeks.
In addition to players for whom NHL teams already have draft rights, this year's tournament will also feature three of the best prospects eligible for the 2024 NHL Draft. This group is led by Boston University's Macklin Celebrini, who is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick.
Every team in the NHL except the Seattle Kraken has at least one prospect who will play in the NCAA Tournament. On the other hand, they will need to track high-end undrafted free agents and multiple first- and second-year eligible players in the NHL Draft.
