NHL Draft: which teams got it right?, Danila Yurov slides to the Wild on Russia concerns, surprise picks, and more, plus an early 2023 NHL Draft lookahead and listener questions

First, on a special Monday edition of The Athletic Hockey Show Prospect Series, Max and Corey look back at this weekend’s NHL Draft and discuss why they liked what the Montreal Canadiens, Seattle Kraken, San Jose Sharks, Winnipeg Jets, Minnesota Wild, and Buffalo Sabres did with their picks. Then, the guys talk about Danila Yurov sliding to the Minnesota Wild at No. 24, seemingly the only Russian prospect to be impacted by the uncertainties surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the potential complications coming to play in North America, as well as surprising picks beyond the first round. Plus, the guys close things out with a very early look at the 2023 Draft and answer listener questions about where Kirby Dach would fit in the 2022 class, how the guys would spend their hypothetical fixed goalie budget, where Simon Nemec ranks amongst top defensemen picked in recent drafts, if the Columbus Blue Jackets should’ve gone with Frank Nazar over Denton Mateychuk, and what were the guys’ favorite food and drink spots during their time in Montreal.
