2022 NHL Draft's Top 10 American Prospects (The Hockey Writers)

With the 2022 NHL Entry Draft rapidly approaching, here is a look at the Top-10 American prospects available for selection.

He scored 34 goals and 65 points in 54 games at the USDP, then added 19 goals and 28 points in 22 USHL games. He will be covering the Seattle Kraken, and is a co-host of “What’s Kraken” for THW. Sean gained experience in writing for television, print and radio while studying journalism at Quinnipiac University and being an active member in the student media organizations there. To further emphasize that he has a great shot, he scored eight goals and nine points in six U18 Worlds games as captain; though he added 27 penalty minutes (PIMs). He’ll be at the University of Michigan for the 2022-23 season. He scored 70 points in 56 USDP games, and 35 in 24 games in the USHL for the squad. He has a heavy shot and strong playmaking ability, with a dash (or more) of creativity that makes him even more dynamic. He’ll get a shot at working on his offensive game at the collegiate level with the University of Minnesota for the 2022-23 season. While he isn’t the fastest, he brings a physical presence and active stick that further indicate that he leans toward the defensive aspect of his two-way game. He’s committed to the University of Minnesota-Duluth for the 2022-23 season. He then added eight points, all assists, at the 2022 U18 Worlds. He’ll play at Boston University starting in the 2023-24 season. At the moment, he’s more a scorer than a playmaker, but with as good a shot as he possesses, NHL teams will likely take that tradeoff. He scored 26 goals and 55 points in 54 games before contributing a lone goal in two playoff games. The 2022 NHL Entry Draft will feature some American prospects who could become difference-makers for some NHL teams in need.

NHL Draft eligible players ranked by best puck skills, top skaters and ... (The Athletic)

Which 2022 NHL Draft prospects are the best skaters, have the best puck skills, hockey sense, shot, and are the most physically dominant?

Gauthier emerged this season as a top goal-scoring option too, being the trigger man for Cooley’s playmaking on the U.S. NTDP. It’s rare for several defensemen to appear on a best-shot list, but Havelid and Salomonsson’s point shots were legit threats in the Swedish junior circuit this season. I’m trying to describe players who are hard to play against, who will wear you down and project to win a lot of physical battles versus men. You see a lot of defensemen on this list who aren’t the biggest players like Nemec and Lindgren, but all can move the puck very well and provide offense. His U.S. NTDP teammate Casey is also a very clever puck-mover who makes a lot of plays, but Hutson is on a different level. - Logan Cooley, C, U.S. NTDP-USHL - Seamus Casey, RHD, U.S. NTDP-USHL He can make unique plays with the puck and do so at a high rate. - Logan Cooley, C, U.S. NTDP-USHL In fact, Cooley, Yurov, Ostlund and Slafkovsky can all make highly-skilled maneuvers at high speeds. Savoie jets around the ice and brings a ton of energy to shifts due to his speed and compete. - Logan Cooley, C, U.S. NTDP-USHL - Frank Nazar, C, U.S. NTDP-USHL

2022 NHL Draft Prospect Profile: Rieger Lorenz (bleachernation.com)

The 2022 NHL Draft is around the corner, so we're turning our attention to some players who might be of interest when the Chicago Blackhawks are on the.

This would be a draft and develop player for the Blackhawks, which is fine. I come back to the analysis Chris Peters provided earlier this summer. As was the case with Hughes, the first red flag we see here is the below average grade on his skating. He should be available in this range and it’s never a bad thing to bet on some skill if it’s available to you. “The top NHL prospect at Canada’s Jr. A level this year, Lorenz, who posted 96 points in a 74 combined regular season and playoff games in the AJHL and impressed as one of Team Canada’s lone bright spots at U18 worlds (where they outscored the opposition 6-0 with him on the ice at five-on-five). He’s a driven, puck-protection player who wins lanes in possession, forechecks to get it back when he doesn’t have it, gets to high-danger areas (either in control with his soft hands or off the puck to play to the front of the net), and then can finish plays when he’s there with a hard and accurate shot. Development is going to be key to get value out of the 2022 NHL Draft.

With jam-packed arenas and terrific action on the ice, Gary Bettman says the NHL business is stronger than ever before.

“Our clubs are strong and stable, the strongest and most stable they have ever been.

Family helps NHL Draft prospect Adam Ingram fulfill his hockey ... (therinklive.com)

They say it takes a village, and the St. Cloud State incoming freshman had his family there from the beginning.

"I can't thank him enough for that, and my mom as well driving me to 7:45 a.m. practices when I'm 8, when I'm 9, when I'm 10. The old saying goes that it takes a village to raise a child. My grandparents, my friends, my family can come out and watch me play probably as much as they want." This past year, Ingram moved away from home for the first time as he joined the Youngstown (Ohio) Phantoms in the USHL. During the 2021-22 campaign, he put up 27 goals and 29 assists in 56 games played. "Growing up in Manitoba you always have a backyard rink," Ingram said. "He started playing hockey before me," Ingram said.

NHL brings in sign language interpreter for commissioner (The Washington Post)

The National Hockey League brought in a sign language interpreter for Commissioner Gary Bettman's annual news conference at the Stanley Cup Final.

“Deaf and hard of hearing fans have been excluded in so many aspects of our life, but primarily in professional sports,” he said. “The commissioner’s address is one of those big moments where you start to hear about where the game’s going, all that off ice context, and we figured that was a good moment to really have this moment for accessibility and something we hope to build on.” “Fans are diverse, and deaf and hard of hearing people belong in that,” he said in American Sign Language as interpreted by Christianson. “I’m an NHL fan too. Having Christianson there to interpret for Bettman and Daly is one branch of the league’s diversity and inclusion initiatives that have prominently focused on improving gender and racial balance. If they truly believe in access, they have to do this every time. Like I felt like we were lucky to be here, they’re giving us an opportunity, and I don’t mean this arrogantly, but now I feel like we belong.”
