2022 NHL Draft thread
 

As a Blue Jackets fan, I’m very excited for tonight. Hoping for lots of surprises. What are you wanting to see from your team?

Toronto needs to trade down or trade their pick. If we select someone with the 25th overall pick, I'll be upset. We need to win, now!

Love the DeBrincat trade for the Sens. He's better than any player they would have gotten at #7.

As for the Bruins, I hope they trade up into the first round but I won't hold my breath.

Debrincat's a better player than anyone at #1, #2 or #3 this year.

BHawks are dumping salaries. It would be funny if they took an undersized winger in the 1st and/or 2nd round.

This is a deep draft, but it might lack the so-called generational talent. Slafkovsky will probably have a more immediate impact and a higher ceiling than Wright, but I still think Wright will go #1 due to being a right-shot center, higher floor and a Canadian lol!

Bettman gets booed mercilessly every time he speaks and he's getting totally choked and salty about it. Hilarious.

Oh and Habs fans? Yeah they ruin everything.

Said every Leaf fan, at every draft since 1970

Wowwwwww

If Shane Wright is the real deal, the Devils will be very scary.

IMHO good pick at #1 for Montreal... can't really go wrong with Slafkovsky... basically a Jaromir Jagr clone

Wow, did not think they'd pass on Wright. 1-2 for Slovakia is crazy.

Devils pass on Wright at #2?

Take Nemec?

I don't get it

Devils drafting for need rather than best player available. SMH

Wright will be playing in front of less people in the NHL than in Juniors. (unless AZ passes)

Which one of Hughes, Hischier, and Mercer would you trade then? Best player available is only viable to a certain extent. It was either trade the pick or draft D

Going to laugh if he turns out like Lafreniere.

The GMs with their little speeches before every pick gets old fast. Just let Bettman announce the pick

[QUOTE=forest;18286569]The GMs with their little speeches before every pick gets old fast. Just let Bettman announce the pick[/QUOTE]It's brutal. They need a shot clock.

Yotes being Yotes. Wright fall further...

[QUOTE=PejaD;18286572]Yotes being Yotes. Wright fall further...[/QUOTE]Cooley will be a great player.

Wright has to go now. The drop off is big from Cooley. We'll see.

Wild better trade up and get the free faller.


Side note- how much are those Goodwin Wrights worth now?

When 3 straight teams pass on him you have to trust the NHL scouts consensus at that point. There's obviously upside concerns.

Wow....some NBA off-season inspired action going on here!

BHawks dumping everyone
