Truth be told, I wasn’t planning on doing a draft profile on Pierre-Luc Dubois. Not because he lacks talent or potential but because I did not believe the Canadiens had a shot at drafting him. He’s the top ranked North American skater and should go no lower than 5th overall.
The Canadiens were linked to possibly moving up a month ago. Talk died down but Elliotte Freidman made a small mention of the possibility in his most recent 30 Thoughts article. So with talk apparently picking up again, we take a look at the likely reason for the Canadiens to move up.
