Habs Eyes On The Prize · Jul 23, 2016
Determining the best draft pick in Canadiens history
Eric Bolte-USA TODAY SportsYesterday we took a look at five draft picks that really did not work out for the Montreal Canadiens. Of course, they have also made some picks that stand out as being legitimate steals. Today, we're going to have a look at five of those, and then take a vote on which one takes the top spot.
Oddly enough, some of the greatest Habs players of all time were not drafted. Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard, Jacques Plante, and Doug Harvey are some examples of legends who came up through the junior ranks and tried out, or were signed under old rules before the draft was popular.
