The 2022 NHL Draft is just hours away, but instead of just waiting and being surprised by who the Minnesota Wild will take with each of their eight picks, we went ahead and did our best to project the prospect that Judd Brackett and his team will select this week.
And by “doing our best,” we clearly mean heading over to FCHockey and using their mock draft tool — so don’t blame us if players go way earlier in real life than we selected them here — to run through a simulation of all 225 draft picks and make the selections for our favorite hockey club.
