After taking Mikhail Sergachev 9th, Will Bitten 70th and Victor Mete 100th, you could argue the Canadiens already had a very solid and successful draft. But they still had picks in the 5th(124) and 6th(160) rounds.
With their final two picks, the Canadiens decided to take some long term projects. At 124th, the Canadiens took Minnesota defenceman Casey Staum. And with the 160th pick, the Canadiens took Sudbury Wolves center Michael Pezzetta.
124th D Casey Staum – Hill-Murray High School
2015-16 Season: 12 GP, 3 G, 4 A, 7 Pts
Admittedly, I don’t know too much about Staum.
