When Steve Yzerman announced his new head coach, we heard a lot about “the process” from Derek Lalonde. Many of you (including myself) ask, what the heck does that mean? The 2022 NHL Draft was a shining example of how Yzerman’s rebuild is turning out to be thought-out and well-calculated. A part of the process.
I’m not going to give out grades for this Draft because I think that would be disingenuous. Outside of maybe three players, I have limited knowledge - and as we’ve seen with Yzerman’s picks before, sometimes knowledge doesn’t equal a good grade.
