About the 2023 NHL Draft
ESPN’s presentation of the first round of the draft will feature host John Buccigross with ESPN NHL analysts Kevin Weekes and Brian Boucher, ESPN NHL writer Emily Kaplan, and draft and hockey analytics expert Meghan Chayka from on-site in Nashville, Tennessee. Round 1 will take place from 7-10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28. Rounds 2-7 start on Thursday, June 29 at 11 a.m. ET.
The Chicago Blackhawks hold the No. 1 overall pick this year, and center Connor Bedard from Regina is the odds-on favorite to be selected first. After that, it’s anybody’s draft, and though the top of the draft has a ton of talented center prospects, there are plenty of great players available at every position. Who will your favorite team select?
