NHL Draft Lottery results: Habs win No. 1 pick, The Athletic NHL’s lottery team mock draft, Corey’s latest 2022 NHL Draft ranking, listener questions, and more

First, Max and Corey talk about the results of the NHL Draft Lottery, with the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils securing the first and second overall picks, respectively, and discuss The Athletic NHL’s writers’ picks in a mock draft for every lottery team.

Then, the guys dive into Corey’s new 2022 NHL Draft ranking and discuss why Shane Wright is still holding onto the No. 1 spot, Jiri Kulich’s move into the top-15, Ivan Miroshnichenko returning to the list at No. 11, Connor Geekie’s fall to No. 18, and more.

Plus, to close things out, the guys open up the mailbag and answer listener questions about how the newly-instituted “you can’t win the Draft Lottery more then twice in 5 years” system works, Matty Beniers and Mason Mctavish vs. Juraj Slafkovsky and Logan Cooley, how many defensemen will go in the first round of this year’s draft, how big a concern Logan Cooley’s size will be for NHL GMs, what the New Jersey Devils could get if they moved the No. 2 pick, if Matthew Savoie can play center, and what three toppings would Max and Corey get on a shared pizza.
