Nashville Predators Draft Miguel Marques With Pick No. 87

miguel-marques

The Nashville Predators drafted an under-the-radar shooter in Miguel Marques with the 87th pick in the 2024 draft.

Marques is a 5'11, 187 lbs right winger out of the WHL who played for the Lethbridge Hurricanes in 2023-24, scoring 28 goals and 74 points in 67 games before one point in two playoff games.

The Predators get a good skater that is described as having triple-threat offensive skill. He is a strong shooter and can get his shots around defenders to get the puck to the net. He is a good passer who likes to feed the puck to teammates, but if needed to, can also take it to the net himself and get around opposing players.

Marques was generally ranked a lot higher than 87 due to his offensive ability, so Nashville should be very happy with grabbing someone with this type of skill at this point in the draft. Everything to do with offense, Marques is doing.
