We're just under one month away from the National Hockey League's 2024 Entry Draft and there's no question who will be taken first overall - Macklin Celebrini. But in the goaltending category, we may have a late entrant, who could be one of the top five in his position selected next month.
According to Mark Divver of New England Hockey Journal and NHL.com, Boston Bruins prospect Reid Dyck could re-enter the Entry Draft next month is he's not signed by the organization by Saturday, June 1st.
Dyck, 20, was selected in the sixth round, 183rd overall by the Boston Bruins in 2022 and just completed his fourth season with the Western Hockey League's Swift Current Broncos. In 35 games for the Broncos, Dyck had a record of 25-7-2 with a 2.70 goals against average, a .911 save percentage and two shutouts.
At the conclusion of Swift Current's season, Dyck signed an amateur tryout contract (ATO) with the American Hockey League's Providence Bruins, but didn't appear in any games for the team as they second round to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
The Bruins' goaltending pipeline isn't exactly deep and while they're set between the pipes for the at least the next few years with Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark, if the latter isn't traded, it may be a smart decision to sign Reid Dyck before Saturday.
