2024 NHL Draft: Capitals Select Terik Parascak

With the 17th pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the Washington Capitals have selected forward Terik Parascak of the Prince George Cougars of the WHL.

“Parascak’s a high-end quick-possession player, capable of both setting up plays and finishing them. He doesn’t just get open, but constantly adjusts his positioning to be in the perfect spot with perfect timing.” -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide

Love the Terik Parascak pick by Washington!

Between him and Cristall, they've snuck away some tremendous value the last two drafts, getting excellent star potential at a draft position they should have no business doing so. pic.twitter.com/Ye6XP6xZev
