The Hockey Writers' prospects experts Matthew Zator and Devin Little react to the first round of the 2022 NHL Draft which saw Juraj Slafkovsky (Canadiens), Simon Nemec (Devils) and Logan Cooley (Coyotes) go first, second and third overall respectively. Shane Wright surprisingly dropped to fourth and right into the Seattle Kraken's laps. They also discuss the big trades involving the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks and the big talent still left over for the second round along with the Detroit Red Wings' selection of Marco Kasper at 8th overall and the Vancouver Canucks' pick of Jonathan Lekkerimaki at 15.
