NHL Draft 22 preview with Sam Cosentino, Ryan McDonagh devastated to leave Tampa Bay Lightning

Ian Mendes and Arpon Basu welcome Sportsnet draft analyst Sam Cosentino, ahead of the 2022 NHL draft in Montreal. Sam discusses who he thinks will be selected in the first round of the draft on Thursday night and if the Habs will take Shane Wright or Juraj Slafkovsky with the number one selection.

Plus, the guys take a look at the salary cap dump that Tampa Bay made this weekend, sending top 4 defender Ryan McDonagh to Nashville, and how Bolts GM Julien BriseBois time and time again makes excellent hockey deals for his club.

Mendes and Basu also touch on the Winnipeg Jets hiring Rick Bowness and the San Jose Sharks firing Bob Boughner and the curious case of Flyers prospect Ivan Fedotov who was planing to evade military service in Russia, and what that might mean for Russian born prospects at the draft, and established Russian NHL players coming into next season.
