2022 NHL Draft Open Thread
Let’s all pretend we know a lot about the future of a bunch of teenagers
It’s draft day! The New York Rangers don’t have a first-round pick — at least, as of the moment — but today is still a major day for the team and every other NHL franchise. A lot can happen on draft day, although most of the time it seems like we just hear about a lot of things that nearly happened.
Round 1 of the 2022 NHL Draft in Montreal unfolds today, beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 2-7 kick off tomorrow, beginning at 11 a.m. ET. Needless to say, the Rangers’ war room will be a lot busier tomorrow. The Blueshirts have four picks to make tomorrow, the first of which being the 63rd overall pick in Round 2. Of course, that number could change between today and tomorrow morning.
