With the 2024 NHL Draft only a month away, the Montreal Canadiens find themselves in a similar position. For the second year in a row, they have the fifth overall pick in the draft. Last year, the Canadiens made a controversial decision by drafting Austrian defenseman David Reinbacher. While there are plenty of great defensemen in this year’s draft class, their previous selection of Reinbacher makes it much more likely they take a forward this time around. With that being said, let’s take a look at some of the top options available for the Canadiens in the 2024 NHL Draft.

The Los Angeles Chargers have an impressive collection of edge defenders, meaning the team could cut former fourth-round pick Chris Rumph. Selected back in 2021, the Duke product spent the past three seasons in a rotational role on Brandon Staley’s defensive line. While a fractured foot limited him to just six games last season, Rumph found some success as a situational pass rusher. Back in 2022, he recorded two sacks, 15 tackles, and six quarterback hits while appearing in 15 games.

With the Paris Olympics are two months away, the Canadian men’s national basketball team looks like they’ll be getting their first Olympic medal since 1936. A number of NBA veterans will be on Team Canada’s roster, namely Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder), Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets), and Dillon Brooks (Houston Rockets). A blockade of defenders —Thunder wing Lu Dort, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard —will play for the team as well. Now, Golden State Warriors wing Andrew Wiggins is teasing his commitment.

Alpine are once again at the centre of F1 news. This will likely persist for some time, as Ocon and Gasly remain key talking points. Once again, Alpine is capturing the attention of F1 fans and media outlets. In almost traditional fashion, the Enstone-based team is embroiled in speculation and – generally speaking – avoidable controversy. Things are not much better on track, with the A524’s lack of performance pushing Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly to explore other options for 2025.

The Lakers essentially have two ways of going about roster construction: trading for a third star or making smaller, more reasonable improvements to the supporting cast. On a recent episode of “Buha’s Block”, The Athletic’s Jovan Buha responded to a question asking for “non star trade targets” the Lakers could go after. His list features names Laker fans are very familiar with.

Troy Weaver was relieved of his general manager duties today by Trajan Langdon, marking the end of Weaver’s four-year tenure with the Pistons. During this period, the team recorded a 74-244 record, falling short of expectations. Langdon’s choice comes as no surprise; he intends to tackle the Pistons’ dismal 31-133 record over two seasons by bringing in his people.

Indianapolis, IN

The key for any franchise to consistently win in the NFL is to have a solid quarterback who has solid weapons around him. The Indianapolis Colts have their quarterback in Anthony Richardson. They have their all-star running back in Jonathan Taylor. They also have Michael Pittman Jr. who is their top wide receiver. However, they do not have that third weapon to contend with Pittman and be a security blanket for Richardson. That was until the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft. Most do not consider a rookie to be a missing link, but the Indianapolis Colts have one guy in particular who can be just that.

Pittsburgh, PA

On Wednesday afternoon, Detroit fans had a rare treat in an old-fashioned doubleheader between their Tigers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. That’s when the Pirates’ starting pitchers were their two young phenoms, Jared Jones and Paul Skenes. It brought to mind a September 1, 1965 doubleheader at old Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, pitting the Pirates against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who started Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. Pirates fans hope that one day, the tandem of Skenes and Jones is spoken of like Koufax and Drysdale.
