The 2022 NHL Draft Lottery is complete. The Montreal Canadiens won the right to select Shane Wright with the first overall pick. The New Jersey Devils won the second overall pick where they will choose from a variety of good young prospects. The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t win anything.
That is a blessing in disguise for the Hawks. If they would have won one of the top two picks, they would have gotten to keep it. Instead, their selection remained at six so it now moves to the Columbus Blue Jackets as a result of the Seth Jones trade.
