With the 2021-22 NHL season finally concluding with the Colorado Avalanche dethroning the Tampa Bay Lightning, we can finally start to look forward to the next step in the hockey world. That is the 2022 NHL Entry Draft being held on July 7th and 8th in Montreal, Quebec. Carolina will be attending an in-person draft for the first time since the 2019 draft and this is going to be an interesting draft.
Known for their prowess and cleverness on the draft floor, this is usually one of the highlight events for the Carolina Hurricanes organization. Despite the fact this team almost single-handedly tacked hours onto the 2021 NHL entry draft, the excitement of yet another NHL draft is building and we get to see if the players selected will contribute to becoming the next generation of Hurricanes players.
