2022 NHL Draft Breakdown

The 2022 NHL Draft has been set and the teams have respective picking orders. All things came to an end with the Stanley Cup last Sunday with the Avalanche winning it all, and we already have a good idea of who will be drafting who and in what spot throughout the entire seven rounds.

Stars likeShane Wright, Juraj Slafkovsky, Logan Cooley and Simon Nemec will be featured in the draft and are expected to go in the top four. Wright is the favorite for the number one pick, but Slafkovsky is also expected to be a very monolithic player in the NHL for many years.

In 10 days the 2022 NHL Draft will be in Montreal, with the Montreal Canadiens picking first overall. The draft has seen some big trades made in the past few years. 

There's a chance we will see the Devils trade their second overall pick if they deem their return is worth the price, or we could possibly see some different teams make salary cap moves, for instance how the Vegas Golden Knights traded Evgenii Dadonov to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for the contract of Shea Weber.

There are a lot of teams with multiple picks in the first round, but I think the most interesting teams to keep an eye on are going to be the Canadiens with the top pick in front of their home crowd. Then there’s also the  Devils, who might decide to make a move or hold onto their second overall pick, and not forgetting the Buffalo Sabres, a team with three picks at the draft that could potentially be making some moves to help build their roster for the next season.
