Montreal is an exciting city with a lot of personality, and fittingly last night’s first round of the 2022 NHL Draft mirrored the energy of the surroundings. There were some wild trades, an active home team, drama all around, a presumed number one overall pick falling to fourth! You name it, last night had it in what is always one of the most spirited nights on the NHL calendar.
On draft night, everyone feels like a winner and (almost) everyone has added something that they think will help in the future. I’m not going to pick apart and critique “oh so-and-so drafted this player maybe five spots too high from where I thought he would go, bad idea!
