Let me start by saying I enjoy hockey and all books related to hockey! Although this was not what I thought it would be, I still enjoyed it. I thought I was going to read a documentary about what happened behind the scenes at the 2022 draft in Montreal. Instead, it was more a recollection of the authors drafts in all of his career.

I specifically enjoyed the chapter on analytics, and what role it actually plays in drafting. The chapter on the Lindros trade was also interesting, as was the explanation on the draft lottery and how the Penguins ended up big winners.

Being a Montréal Canadiens fans, It was good to read the comments about the 2022 draft.

The author often cites Brian Burke. It would have been good to have more hockey GMS comment on the « science » of drafting and their personal stories.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me a complimentary e-arc in exchange for my honest opinion.
