At the moment, the Tampa Bay Lightning are down 3-1 in the series with the Florida Panthers. If they were to lose the series and the Vegas Golden Knights were to advance to the conference finals than the Hawks would have the 19th selection (again, previously selecting Oliver Moore in 2023).

Some of the players (of size) that could be available in the nineteen range of the upcoming draft could be:

A. Liam Greentree (6'2 - 198lbs) - is a highly productive wing for Windsor in the OHL. Having a 36 goal and 90 point season could see the talented wing drafted in the early to late teens when the draft comes around.

B. Adam Jiricek (6-2 - 168lbs) - the brother of Blue Jacket David Jiricek, Adam projects as a hard hitting defensive defenseman.

C. Sacha Boisvert (6'2 - 179lbs) - this is a player to keep an eye on as a player that is headed to North Dakota coming from the USHL as a center with skill and good size.

D. Igor Chernyshov (6'2 - 192lbs) - the Russian left wing has now skated in thirty nine KHL games, making him quite experienced playing against mature competition. While perhaps not a top line wing, Chernyshov looks like an ideal addition to any NHL middle six down the road.
