Overall Pick, Devils Secure No. 2 Online casino

The Montreal Canadiens will have the opportunity to select this year’s most
prized NHL prospect first overall after winning the 2022 draft lottery on
Tuesday. It marks the first time since 1980 the franchise will pick first
overall.

The Canadiens entered the draft lottery with the best odds to win the No. 1
overall pick at 18.5 percent. Montreal has been clamoring for the top pick in
the draft for years, and now they’ll finally get the opportunity to select a
franchise-altering player.

Montreal had an incredibly disappointing 2021-22 season, finishing with the
worst record in the NHL at 22-49-11. It marked the fourth time in the last seven
seasons that the Canadiens missed the playoffs.

That said, the Habs were just one season removed from reaching the Stanley Cup
Finals, where they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games.

The draft lottery determined the selection order for the 16 teams that did not
qualify for the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs or teams that acquired a first-round
selection via trade. that resource However, this year’s lottery featured some
changes.

Teams were allowed to move up a maximum of 10 spots, meaning only the top 11
teams had the opportunity to land the first overall pick. There were also two
draws, with the first determining which team got the No. 1 pick and the second
determining which team got the No. 2 pick. Once the first two picks were
revealed, the remainder of the teams were assigned a pick in inverse order of
regular-season points.

Lowering the number of lottery draws to two ensured the team with the worst
record, in this case the Montreal Canadiens, wouldn’t draft lower than third
overall.

The process was changed after the Detroit Red Wings, who finished with the worst
record in the NHL during the 2019-20 season, ended up selecting fourth overall
in the 2020 draft, losing out on the opportunity to select the best player
available.

That said, let’s take a look at the order for this year’s draft and some of the
top prospects available.

NHL Draft Selection Order

Montreal Canadiens New Jersey Devils Arizona Coyotes Seattle Kraken Philadelphia
Flyers Columbus Blue Jackets (via Chicago Blackhawks) Ottawa Senators Detroit
Red Wings Buffalo Sabres Anaheim Ducks San Jose Sharks Columbus Blue Jackets New
York Islanders Winnipeg Jets Vancouver Canucks Buffalo Sabres (via Vegas Golden
Knights) Shane Wright, Center: Kingston Frontenacs (OHL)

Height/Weight: 6’1″, 187 pounds

Shane Wright, who has been considered the valedictorian of the 2022 draft class
by NHL draft analysts for years, is expected to be the first overall pick in
this year’s draft after a standout three-year career with the Ontario Hockey
League’s Kingston Frontenacs.

The 18-year-old’s draft stock took a dip early during the 2021-22 season after
he posted 16 goals and 29 assists in 33 games for 1.36 points per game, which
was just slightly better than his performance when he was 15 years old.

However, Wright, who served as the captain of the Frontenacs this past season,
had a solid second half, rebounding to finish with 32 goals and 62 assists for
94 points in 63 regular-season games. He also added two goals and eight assists
for 10 points in eight postseason games.

Wright has been highly sought after because of his impressive 200-foot game.
He’s one of the best skaters in junior hockey, often compared to Pittsburgh
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, and his vision, passing and playmaking skills
make him a dangerous dual threat.

Perhaps the best indicator of his two-way prowess came from TSN Director of
Scouting Craig Button, who compared Wright to Boston Bruins captain Patrice
Bergeron.

“I continuously come back to Shane Wright as the clear-cut guy because I just
see such a thoroughness in his play,” Button said. “There’s not a situation in
the game that I wouldn’t throw Shane Wright into and not feel confident that he
can excel. And that’s Bergeron.”

If Wright turns out to be anything like Bergeron, he’ll be a high-scoring,
two-way center who can make plays on both ends of the ice. He would be a perfect
fit for the Canadiens, and he is exactly the player they need to turn things
around.

Logan Cooley, Center: United States National Team Development Program

Height/Weight: 5’11”, 174 pounds

Like Wright, Logan Cooley is one of the top centers in the 2022 draft class, and
he could be selected as high as second overall.

The 18-year-old from Pittsburgh has spent the last few seasons with the USNTDP.
During the 2021-22 season, he tallied 27 goals and 48 assists for 75 points in
51 games for the U.S. National U18 Team.

While Cooley is also projected to be a high-scoring, two-way center at the NHL
level, he plays a different game than Wright. His high-end speed, skill and
offensive IQ separate him from the Frontenacs center. That said, he lacks size
but isn’t afraid to drive to the net for scoring opportunities.

And while Button views Wright as more of a Bergeron, he compared Cooley to
Carolina Hurricanes star Sebastian Aho, who is one of the best all-around
players in the NHL.

“They’re really good centremen but very different,” Button said. “And when I do
the comparables, Bergeron and Sebastian Aho, I think that’s how Logan plays the
game, more like Sebastian Aho. Shane Wright plays it like Bergeron.”

Aho is a tremendous skater, playmaker and also defends well. That said, his only
detriment is his lack of size at 6’0″, 176 pounds, but that hasn’t necessarily
limited him at the NHL level. He’s a solid comparison to Cooley.

It’s unclear if Cooley would make the jump straight to the NHL if given the
opportunity. He is committed to play at the University of Minnesota next season.

Juraj Slafkovsky, Left Wing: TPS (Finland)

Height/Weight: 6’4″, 218 pounds

Like Cooley, Juraj Slafkovsky has the potential to be selected as high as second
overall after an impressive career with TPS in Finland.

During the 2021-22 season, Slafkovsky tallied five goals and five assists for 10
points in 31 regular-season games. He added two goals and five assists for seven
points in 18 playoff games.

The 18-year-old also starred for Slovakia at the 2022 Winter Olympics, where he
was named MVP of the men’s ice hockey tournament after helping lead the country
to a bronze medal with seven goals in seven games.

Slafkovsky is a solid skater who has a powerful stride and great leg strength.
He sets up and finishes plays well and will use his body any way he can. That
said, he’s a multi-tool threat with the capability to pass, shoot and score with
precision, which would be an asset to any NHL team.

Button compared Slafkovsky to Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, who is
big, strong and highly talented.

“Big, weighty, hard players to play against, but not elite offensive players.
That’s the separator for me with [Joakim] Kemell and Slafkovsky,” Button said.
