Hi Folks, I tried to arrange very early top 50 for 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
Notes: 1. I don't dispose of accurate analysis on every player below (app.50% of them i've seen at least once); it's all constructed based on my opinions, others' reports and obviously overall awareness of such players
2. Let's approach this ranking soberly, more or less as an illustration
3. Don't hesitate to add your thoughts, personal favorites (thats why i'm doing that)
4. As for #5,#25,#44 and #50, don't kill me for my homerism

This is going to be unreal draft.
