NHL Central Scouting releases final rankings for 2022 Draft
Early Thursday, Central Scouting released its final list of the top North American skaters and goalies and the top International skaters and goalies.
Canadian Shane Wright, a centre with the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), is number one for North American skaters for the upcoming 2022 NHL Draft Entry Draft. At the same time, Slovakian left-wing Juraj Slafkovsky of TPS of Liiga (Finland's top professional league) is number one amongst International skaters.
However, the Boston Bruins sent their 2022 first-round pick to the Anaheim Ducks in the trade package for defenseman Hampus Lindholm at the NHL Trade Deadline on March 21st.
It will still be interesting to see where the Bruins would've picked and who will be available at that selection.
Boston has seven draft selections for the 2022 draft: their own second-round pick, Calgary's third-round pick, their own fourth, sixth and seventh, and Ottawa's seventh.
The NHL Draft Lottery to determine the first 16 picks in the draft will be held on May 10th at NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey, at 6:30 pm EST.
The 2022 NHL Entry Draft will be held at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The first round will be on July 7th, and rounds two to seven will happen the following day, on July 8th.
