Expert has his thoughts on what the Habs should do with their first overall pick

Probably one of the most asked questions in Montreal for the past three weeks is who will the Habs select with the first pick in the 2022 draft?

Will it be Shane Wright, Logan Cooley or Juraj Slafkovsky?

While waiting for July 7th, when the first round of the draft will be presented at the Bell Centre, hockey fans will be able to have fun playing stadium managers.

But for former scouts like Alain Chainey, the NHL Draft period is the time to go in with his predictions and as reported by David St-Jean, of Marqueur.com, he made quite a few to a TVA Sports colleague.


When Chainey ran into Jean-Michel Dufaux, a contributor to the JiC show, he said that Juraj Slafkovsky would be his choice to become a member of the Habs with the first selection of the 2022 draft.



Slafkovsky impressed many people at the World Hockey Championships and his performance has challenged many pundits who ranked Shane Wright first.

But will it be enough to overtake the Canadian forward?

We'll find out on the evening of July 7.
