Much of the talk around the Montreal Canadiens’ 2017 draft is about first-round pick Ryan Poehling, or second-round pick Joni Ikonen, or even third-round pick Cale Fleury.
But the second player the Habs took in the draft, two spots ahead of Ikonen, was defenceman Josh Brook.
Brook is somewhat the forgotten man in the Canadiens’ draft class of that year, but he shouldn’t be. In fact, Brook was named to Team Canada’s World Junior Summer camp on Wednesday.
One of the reasons that Brook has been forgotten has been his health. He got injured during rookie camp last year, keeping him out until late November.
