2022 NHL Draft Lottery
Presented by Sportsnet

David Amber: Hello everyone and welcome back to Sportsnet. I'm David Amber and we are just minutes away from finding out where teams will be selecting come Draft Day. All 16 teams in the lottery have a chance of winning the coveted 1st Overall Selection but they will have to wait and see where the pong balls land. First let's see the Lottery Odds for this year's lottery team's.

DA: You've seen who's in the lottery, you've seen the odds, you've seen all you need to see. Let's send you over to NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly who will announce the Draft Order. After every announced selection our Draft Expert Sam Cosentino will give his thoughts and opinion. And now Billy Daly...

Bill Daly: Welcome to the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery. Let's get things underway. The 16th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Anaheim Ducks

Sam Cosentino: The Anaheim Ducks were 4 points back of returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2018. They made huge strides this season considering they selected Mason McTavish last year at 3rd Overall. They have a bright future with young studs such as Zegras, Drysdale and Terry already on the roster. They'll try and add another one to the young core in the Draft with their 16th overall selection

Bill Daly: The 15th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Montreal Canadiens

Sam Cosentino: This pick will transfer to the Nashville Predators as part of the trade they completed this season. Nashville had a disappointing season, completely missing out on the playoffs and finishing 3rd last in the NHL. This will be the first time the Preds will have two lottery picks in a single draft. They have only selected once before at #15. It was in 2004 when they chose Russian Alexander Radulov

BD: The 14th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Chicago Blackhawks

SC: Another pick that will go to a different team, the Columbus Blue Jackets will select here at #14 as part of the Seth Jones Trade. This will be the second straight year the Jackets will have multiple first round picks after they had three last year. The cupboards are going to be full of prospects after this upcoming draft for Columbus.

BD: The 13th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Arizona Coyotes

SC: While 81 points may not make it seem like the case, the Coyotes were a lot better then many people thought they were gonna be this past season. The Coyotes made big moves at the trade deadline, adding superstar Patrick Kane and Top 4 defenseman Mattias Ekholm. It wasn't enough to make the playoffs last season but with a full season with these guys, playoffs look like a very real possibility. Adding a 13th overall pick will help with this new-look retool Arizona is trying to pull off.

BD: The 12th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Carolina Hurricanes

SC: Much to the anger and disappointment of Canes fans, this pick will be Montreal's after the signing of RFA Jesperi Kotkaniemi last offseason. The Canadiens definitley did not expect this pick to be so high and so they'll be very please, especially because without this selection they wouldn't have one in the 1st round this year. This will be their 6th time in their franchise history picking at the 12th spot. The last time was in 2007 when they chose defenseman Ryan McDonagh.

BD: The 11th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The San Jose Sharks

SC: The Sharks rebuild continues as they will select 11th overall after picking at 7th last season. San Jose has a weird roster mix with veterans such as Karlsson, Couture and Vlasic paired with guys in their prime like Hertl and Meier but still they aren't a playoff team. Their last time selecting at 11th was back in 1994 when they took Jeff Friesen.

BD: The 10th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Detroit Red Wings

SC: The "Yzerplan" in Detroit is in full effect and adding a top 10 player in this draft will only accelerate the Red Wing's mission to get back to the playoffs. Rookies Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider had incredible rookie seasons and GM Steve Yzerman will look to add a player just like them at 10th Overall. This will be the 6th straight season Detroit will have a Top 10 Selection (Edvinsson, Raymond, Seider, Zadina, Rasmussen)

BD: The 9th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The New Jersey Devils

SC: The Devils are still a few pieces away from being a threat to make the playoffs. They added Russian winger Vladimir Tarasenko at the Trade Deadline and it isn't looking like the best fit so far. He had just 9 points along with an ugly -10 in 18 games. If Tarasenko does finally mesh with the team and finds chemistry with Hughes or Hischier the Devils will be in playoff contention next season.

BD: The 8th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Seattle Kraken

SC: They certainly didn't enjoy the type of success the Vegas Golden Knights did but after some suspect choices in their Expansion Draft, I don't think many people thought they would replicate that type of season. They'll gladly take the pick at #8 and look to add another player of Matty Beniers calibre, their 2nd overall pick last season

BD: The 7th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Columbus Blue Jackets -1

SC: With the Blue Jackets dropping to 7th, the Ottawa Senators have jumped up into the Top 3. As if the Senators needed any more prospects to add to an already embarrassment of riches. If all goes well in Ottawa, which might be a pretty big "if", this team will be stacked head-to-toe with talent.

BD: The 6th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Los Angeles Kings -1

SC: The Los Angeles Kings only have a few more seasons of trying to be competitive with the core that won them their Stanley Cups in 2014 and 2012. Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty and Jonathan Quick are 35, 32 and 36 years old, respectively. You have about 1-2, maybe 3, more season of good hockey left in them. They have a good prospect pool but will want to compete next season to try and win one more Cup with this core.

BD: The 5th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Nashville Predators -2

SC: So not only do the Preds have a terrible season, they also drop out of the top 3 and will select 5th at the 2022 Draft. Nothing went right for Nashville this season and they won't even be awarded with a Top 3 Pick for it. They moved on from Mattias Ekholm at the Trade Deadline and got some good assets back for him. They'll get a top prospect here at #5 but don't be surprised if this team tries to contend again next year and treat this season as an anomaly.

BD: The 4th Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The Buffalo Sabres -2

SC: The Buffalo Sabres will have a Top 10 Pick in the Draft for the 10th year in a row. Yikes. Winning has avoided them for the past decade but with the pieces they're putting in place the Sabres look like they should be at least competitive within the next two seasons. They'll have a lot of great options to choose from at 4 and it'll add to the growing prospect pipeline

BD: The 3rd Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... The St. Louis Blues -2

SC: It was a disastrous season for the Blues this season. They finished dead last in the NHL and by the Trade Deadline were in full fire sale mode. They finally shipped Vladimir Tarasenko out after years filled with trade rumors. The likes of O'Reilly and Schenn were being shopped around the league and while both were kept, expect to see both in play on Draft Day. This will be the Blues highest draft pick since they took Erik Johnson first overall in 2006.

SC: Now the moment we've all been waiting for, who will be awarded the 1st Overall Selection...

BD: The 1st Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too....

David Amber: Well that does it for us here at Sportsnet as we end a night filled with tension and suspense. Teams will now head to the war rooms to debate and argue within their organizations on who they will pick at the Draft in Montreal in June. We thank you for watching this year's Draft Lottery show and wish your team all the best come Draft Day...

BD: The 1st Overall Selection in the 2022 NHL Draft belongs too.... Spoiler *The Philadelphia Flyers!* +3 Which means the 2nd Overall Selection will belong to the *Ottawa Senators* +5 SC: And the Shane Wright sweepstakes are won by the City of Brotherly Love, the Philadelphia Flyers. It was obviously a rough season for the Flyers and the loss of Claude Giroux as the face of the franchise hurt. Shane Wright of the Kingston Frontenacs will immediately become that new face of the franchise for the Broad Street Bullies. He's the lock to go first overall and I would be shocked if he doesn't hear his name by Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher on Draft Day. He'll step into the NHL next season and contribute to the team on day 1. He's the future captain of this storied franchise and this organization and fans couldn't possibly be happier with this outcome. Not to be forgotten is the Ottawa Senators who make the biggest jump in the draft going from the 7th spot to the 2nd Overall Pick. This team is full of young kids up front who are already leading this team. They have the back-end set with prospects like Sanderson, Bernard-Docker, Thomson and Kleven so they'll almost certainly select a forward with this pick David Amber: Well that does it for us here at Sportsnet as we end a night filled with tension and suspense.
