The final draft rankings for the 2022 NHL Entry Draft are in and Juraj Slafkovsky has edged out Shane Wright for the number one spot on TSN’s Bob McKenzie’s 2022 draft list.
“Teams who rank Slafkovsky at No. 1 are struggling with Wright’s draft year being so average [compared to prior seasons]. Teams who like Wright at No. 1 can’t forget what they saw in Wright’s first OHL season and the 2021 U-18 world championship.”

Multiple scouts from McKenzie’s survey also stated, that five years from now, the best player from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft could be someone not named Slafkovsky or Wright.
Who will the Montreal Canadiens select first overall? Will it be Slafkovsky or Wright?
