After the most disappointing season in franchise history the Montreal Canadiens got the first overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft this was the Canadiens first overall pick since the 1980 NHL Draft and my first to witness as a Montreal Canadiens fan.
The Canadiens had multiple choices for this pick and decided to go with pure offence as the Canadiens drafted Slovakia born Juraj Slafkovsky first overall. Slafkovsky is also the first Slovakia born player to go first overall in NHL history
This decision was made to form a powerhouse line of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and now Juraj Slafkovsky heading home into next season. Juraj Slafkovsky is bigger then Wright at 6'4 and 220 pounds.
