2022 NHL Draft Day 1

[GoPuckYourself]

Seattles building a solid Center core with Matthew Beniers and Shane Wright.

I hated the Debrincat trade but Dach has really been bad playing with some really good players.

Definitely agree with that, but he's got some time to turn it around lol.

[Digger]

I always liked Kirby Dach but he's not a number 1 center but maybe complementary to Suzuki.  Lots of pressure in Montreal.  Tough place to rebound.

[Carmel Corn]

Wright and Beniers...quite a center combo for the future!

Who’s the top player next year that Chicago is tanking for?

Bedard or michkov.

True

I would take Bedard, though it's really close.  I think there is the risk of the contract that Michkov is currently on. 

[aristocrat]

Seattle building down the middle is great for them.  Wright might have been a victim of analysis paralysis 

[Zamboni]

Briere sighting

Another forward 

[Thorner]

Nice D falls to us?  I’m not opposed going D again (I realize this is unpopular opinion).

[North Buffalo]

Philly Gauthier

[GoPuckYourself]

I’m hoping for Savoie or Marco Kasper to us at #9

Kasper wont get past detroit. CBJ will probably grab Jiricek. Only question is who Chicago takes, but fingers crossed its not Savoie. I worry Chicago will be picking Yurov with 13. I wonder if that makes Buffalo take Yurov at 9 even if Savoie is still there.

I really don't know who the heck Meghan is, but her rankings don't show much respect for Savoie.

[SDS]

So the top five went as expected, just not in the predicted order.

Savoie, Kasper or Jiricek and I'm content for sure.

Her husband used to run the Coyotes, I believe.

Not sure that Gauthier was guaranteed for top 5.  I think he was comfortably in the top 7.

[Carmel Corn]

I hate to ask this...but if we lost the last game of the year to Chicago in regulation, where would we be picking?  7th?

A quick scan of our posters had the same top five

[ExWNYer]

Jiricek gone.

[7+6=13]

I'm thinking Nazar is our pick if he makes it to us.

[Derrico]

Nazar Sovie or kasper?
