Danielle Serdachny is a likely first round pick in the 2024 PWHL Draft, and the 5-foot-9 Colgate grade could become the most productive pick from the draft as well.

When it's all said and done, Danielle Serdachny could become the best pro from this draft. When it's all said and done, Danielle Serdachny could become the best pro from this draft. Yes, you read that sentence twice because it warrants saying, particularly with the high powered forwards available including Sarah Fillier, Noora Tulus, and Hannah Bilka.
Seradchny has outproduced every NCAA player in this draft over the past three seasons, and in fact, stretching back to 2021-2022, she was already outproducing many of the current pros in the PWHL.
Serdachny is a big bodied forward who protects the puck well and is extremely dangerous around the net. That's a fact members of Team USA, particularly USA legends Hilary Knight, Kendall Coyne Schofield, and Megan Keller will not forget, as they were the trio on the ice when Serdachny scored the 2024 golden goal for Canada at the World Championships beating Aerin Frankel from a net front position.
Over her last 80 games in the NCAA with Colgate, Serdachny has scored 47 goals and 132 points. While she's an excellent goal scorer, Serdachny is also an adept playmaker. She can find seams and make passes many players struggle with.
At the World Championships in Utica, Serdachny didn't play a ton, but she made a noticeable impact driving possession and play every time she stepped on the ice, and obviously had earned the trust of Canada's brass to step onto the ice in overtime in the gold medal game. Her impact overshadowed other members of this draft class, and it's not implausible when we look back at this draft and see who rises as the top scorer from the cohort in the PWHL, that it could be Serdachny.
