The 2022 NHL Draft is set for July 7-8 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. The Canadiens will select first in their home arena after winning the lottery back in May. There’s another impressive crop of prospects headlined by Kingston center Shane Wright and Slovakian forward Juraj Slafkovsky. Let’s take a look at the full order for the first round with some notes.

The Blue Jackets acquired the No. 6 pick from the Blackhawks as part of the Seth Jones trade.

The Sabres acquired the Golden Knights pick at No. 16 as part of the Jack Eichel deal. Buffalo also has the No. 28 pick via the Panthers in the Sam Reinhart deal.

The Ducks acquired the Bruins pick at No. 22 as part of the Hampus Lindholm trade.

The Canadiens also have the No. 26 pick via the Flames in the Tyler Toffoli deal.

The Jets have the Rangers pick at No. 30 as part of the deal for Andrew Copp.

The Coyotes have the Avalanche pick at No. 32 as part of the deal for goalie Darcy Kuemper. Arizona also has pick No. 27 via the Canadiens as part of the Christian Dvorak deal, a pick Montreal acquired as part of compensation for losing Jesperi Kotkaniemi to the Carolina Hurricanes via offer sheet.
