While the 2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft is full of unpredictability, there appears to be some consensus at the top of the draft. NHL.com writers Adam Kimelman and Mike G. Morreale agree on how the first six picks could go, beginning with the Montreal Canadiens selecting center Shane Wright from Kingston of the Ontario Hockey League with the No. 1 pick. But starting with the Ottawa Senators and the No. 7 selection, their opinions vary widely. The first round of the 2022 draft will be held at Bell Centre in Montreal on July 7. Rounds 2-7 will be July 8.
