The Montreal Canadiens won the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery and the No. 1 pick of the 2022 NHL Draft on May 10. NHL.com writers Adam Kimelman and Mike G. Morreale agree the Canadiens will use that pick on center Shane Wright from Kingston of the Ontario Hockey League. Their opinions vary widely on what could happen after that. The New Jersey Devils won the No. 2 pick, and the Arizona Coyotes will pick No. 3, followed by the Seattle Kraken and the Philadelphia Flyers.
