2022 NHL Draft | Stéphane Leroux offers his list: Shane Wright at the top — 98.5 Montreal
On the eve of the 2022 NHL draft, journalist Stéphane Leroux produced his own list of the 32 best hopes for the RDS network.
In an interview with Mario Langlois on Tuesday evening, Leroux recalled that this is not a « mock draft » that targets players according to the probable intentions of the teams, but rather a list of the 32 best hopes in order according to him.
For the junior hockey specialist, there is still no debate. Shane Wright deserves to be the No. 1 pick in the draft.
The journalist points out that Logan Cooley, if he had been a little taller and physically mature, might have passed over Wright in his ranking.
However, he believes that Cooley should be selected before Slafkovsky.
We listen to it…
