2022 NHL Draft Preview - July 4th, 2022

The full 2022 NHL Draft Preview is here! Tune in for our full, comprehensive analysis of the 2022 NHL Draft, especially from the lens of the Detroit Red Wings & what Steve Yzerman, Kris Draper & Co. might do. Will they land Matthew Savoie, Frank Nazar, or Marco Kasper? Will they opt for a big Conor Geekie or take the risk with Brad Lambert? Will Nemec, Jiricek, or Gauthier fall, & how will Wright, Slafkovsky, & Cooley shake out? We start by covering some Red Wings news re: new head coach Derek Lalonde, Dylan Larkin's contract, Jack Campbell rumors, & more (4:01) before starting the draft preview with a review of the consensus & our own top ranked players (10:17)! The draft preview continues with our own preferred 8th overall picks vs. what we think is most likely to happen for Hockeytown (28:33), as well as discussing some more "longshot" options that still might pan out for Detroit's pick (43:14). Finally, prospects to target in the 2nd round (picks 40 & 52) & beyond (1:01:21), as well as picks we'd be more hesitant about, potential trade options (Bertuzzi, Hronek, Larkin, & other crazy scenarios), & so, so much more!
