2021 just happened but 2022 is still less than a calendar year away. I expect another top 10 pick
11 I think you can only move 10 spotsDidn’t they change the lotto process? What’s the highest you can finish and still have a shot at #1?
This is the year we win the lotto buckle up guys
after we trade our pick to Buffalo for Eichel?
As it stands right now if our D is healthy and Zegras takes the steps everyone thinks he will we won’t be getting a top 5 pick. Probably not even top 10. Two pretty big ifs (especially the first one) though.

Yeah I’d like to know that too, I know there are still good players after the top 3 like Howard, McGroarty, Slafkovsky, Salomonsson, but I’m interested to see how the rest of the field develops. There should be a bunch of good Americans so that’s good.I know everyone says this is a deep draft, but is that just because of the top end talent (Wright, Lambert, etc.)? Like, is the 30th best prospect in 2022 really that much better than the 30th ranked prospect from 2021?
I have no clue either but i would guess that the 4 to 6 in 2022 are like Benier/Eklund tier.Yeah I’d like to know that too, I know there are still good players after the top 3 like Howard, McGroarty, Slafkovsky, Salomonsson, but I’m interested to see how the rest of the field develops.

It would be kinda awesome if devils got Hughes…Be a blight for Wright?
Here's the Hockey News' projected 2022 top-10 from their magazine, Future Watch edition. ( I was surprised my local Barnes & Noble had it available!)
1. C Shane Wright
2. C Brad Lambert
3. C Matt Savoie
4. D Simon Nemec
5. C Logan Cooley
6. LW Juraj Slafkovsky
7. D Tristan Luneau
8. D David Jiricek
9. LW Rutger McGroarty
10. C Jack D. Hughes
It appears to be the year of the center for 2022 when 2021 was projected to be the year of the blue liners. That top-3 looks very solid.
