The NHL's Dan Rosen on plans for the 2024 NHL Draft.
The NHL is finalizing details to hold the 2024 NHL Draft at Sphere in Las Vegas on June 28-29, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Tuesday.
Bettman, speaking Tuesday after Day 2 of the NHL Board of Governors meeting, said there are still contracts that need to be signed, but the NHL is in a good place to get it done.
"I think it'll be pretty dramatic," Bettman said.
The NHL will be the first sports entity to hold an event at Sphere, an 18,600-seat globe-like arena that has become renowned for its immersive video and audio technology, including a 16k resolution wraparound interior LED screen and outdoor LED displays.
"It will the first sporting event in the Sphere and I think it'll be a pretty-well viewed event both in terms of the draft itself and the viral use of the Sphere inside and outside using the globe," Bettman said. "We think it'll be fun. We think it'll be dramatic and compelling."

:barf:
Is this going to be a draft where no one from the teams are present?
I think that starts next year. So it looks like Butthead & Company are planning to go out with a bang. I'd suggest that they go once around the Original Six first and then go virtual in seven years, but that would make too much sense for these idiots.
When was the last time the NHL Draft was in Detroit. Oh right. Bettman.
