Habs, Devils go off the board to give us back to back Slovakian draft picks to open the NHL Draft for the first time. The guy who everyone thought was going #1? Shane Wright? That guy? > I wonder who these guys want the Canadiens to take tonight 🤔 [pic.twitter.com/eAxDL4denY](https://t.co/eAxDL4denY?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) [July 7, 2022](https://twitter.com/ArponBasu/status/1545145791509135362?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) He’s in Seattle now. Pick #4\. Oops. ### Pre-Draft The hours leading up to the draft were full of speculation, trades, and signings that proved rumors incorrect. First big rumor of the day? Marc Andre-Fleury's future. There were a couple teams mentioned for his destination; Toronto (of course), Colorado, Washington, and Minnesota. Kevin Weekes thought he had the scoop, then retracted, but he was just early as Fleury did re-sign in Minnesota for 2 years, $3.5M per. Chicago is looking to tear it down? > In CHI-related news, not overly surprising, but it doesn’t sound as if the Hawks will be qualifying centre Dylan Strome. Expectation is he will be going to UFA on July 13\. July 11 is deadline to issue Qualifying Offer but no reason to believe that will happen here.
