NHL Scout's Analysis: Picks of interest from each round of 2022 NHL Draft

The Montreal Canadiens did their due diligence and settled on Slafkovsky over the likes of Shane Wright, Logan Cooley, and Simon Nemec. The management group in Montreal eliminated any outside noise, and pressure, and went with the player that they believe will assist the most in taking the organization to another level.

An observation: Watching Slafkovsky get paraded around the Bell Centre for media interviews and the fans clamouring to get a picture, fist pump, or autograph was something to behold. He’s already a rock star in Montreal.I absolutely love this pick. Hutson is a highly skilled transitional “D” who makes plays off the rush and quarterbacks the power play. There was a time, not so long ago, that players like this were passed over by NHL clubs due to their lack of size and physicality.

Goalies take longer to develop than skaters and that is why I believe in the strategy of this selection. Hildeby will be in Sweden for at least one more season before potentially coming to North America. When NHL teams draft players from Europe, they hold their rights for four years of development time compared to two years for major junior players in North America. By the time his four years have expired, Hildeby will be 24 and potentially entering the NHL phase of his development.

Former NHL goalie Jocelyn Thibault is the owner of the team in Sherbrooke, so I’m sure the Avalanche consulted with him to get some more background on Zhigalov.There was a time when staffs took time off following the draft to enjoy what summer has to offer. That’s not the case any longer.
