Tonight is the first round of the NHL 2022 Entry Draft. It takes place in the Beautiful Downtown Montreal and begins shortly after 7 p.m. Eastern (Sportsnet, ESPN, TVA Sports).
The most important business so far was the Ottawa Senators who traded three draft picks to the Chicago Blackhawks, including the seventh overall, for Alex DeBrincat.
Stay up to date here, as we will update the drafts (and draft order, if there are more transactions) in real time.
