Inside Scott Wheeler’s Bold 2022 NHL Draft Shake-Up: Which Stars Rise and Fall?
8. Detroit Red Wings: LHD Denton Mateychuk
Actual draft pick: No. 12 (change: +4) to Columbus
My final ranking: No. 13 (change: +5)
I still don’t think people realize how good Mateychuk is. The 5-foot-11/6-foot defenseman has had a tougher time cutting through in recent years, but Mateychuk has been one of the very best players in his age group for as long as I’ve watched him. He stepped right out of junior and into being a top D in the AHL and one of the best rookie D in the NHL right away last year.
