The tweet I was responding to said that day 1 of the draft would be on a Thursday, not that it would be a 1 day draft on that Thursday. Having it all in one day, on a Thursday, would be even stranger. The draft takes many hours to complete. Having it all in one day would probably mean that the 1st round would need to begin pretty early, during work day hours on a Thursday. Wouldn’t make much sense to me.

Boxing themselves into literally needing to forgo "BPA" next draft is the "backing yourself into a corner" twin-sister of walking Reinhart to UFA, and thus necessitating a swap for trade market (poor) value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright is the prize though. Kind of a super version of Cozens. Natural born leader, plays the right way, tremendous shot. He is much more skilled then Cozens but I do see some similarities in the leadership/way he carries himself aspect of his makeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 As an aside, I would love the Devils to draft Jack Hughes this year for no other reason then the torment of announcers trying to navigate two Jack Hughes and a Luke Hughes in the lineup.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone even comes close to challenging him for first overall. He's Bergeron/Toews, maybe better. Building around Wright will be easy for whoever gets him. I think Lambert will be really good. Too early for me to comment on the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wright just stays the course and doesn’t take a jump I don’t think there’s anything reasonable Savoie could do in one season to jump him.

French Collection Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Catching my first OHL game in two years today. It is an exhibition game but I am looking forward to it. Our North Bay Battalion team had the 1st overall pick in 2020, Ty Nelson, and he has not played an OHL game yet. He is 2022 NHL draft eligible and Craig Button has him pegged as a 1st rounder. Looking forward to watching him this season as well as all the other prospects, including Shane Wright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with grabbing a RHD with One of them Of interest: Columbus has two firsts next season (their own and Chicago’s). They’ve reportedly had interest in Jack and have some pieces (including Owen Power’s Michigan teammate Kent Johnson) if those talks resume at any point. Arizona has three (their own, Montreal’s and Colorado’s), two of which I’d expect to be very high in the draft but I don’t believe they have interest in Jack and that team also needs to restock after losing so many draft picks to forfeiture and Taylor Hall (which is basically another forfeiture). That and saving money on young prospects is a good idea for a team that’s been in financial trouble for basically its entire existence.

LGR4GM Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Interesting list. Everything after #1 is going to change over the next year. https://www.tsn.ca/wright-the-clear-cut-top-choice-in-mckenzie-s-first-2022-draft-ranking-1.1699349 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Savoie will surprise some ppl and I have no idea where McKenzie got his height from. Elite lists him as 5'10" so that will be something to check on at the combine. Savoie would be my #2 at this point behind Wright and followed by Miroshnichenko Everything after those 3 is completely random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think sabres want wright but are happy with any of the top 3 - The one they really want is in 2023 Michkov though. I expect to see a lot more Russians being picked in next two drafts as well with the heavier scouting being done in Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
