With two veteran defenders confirmed leaving, and a third at Team Canada’s Olympic camp, Les Canadiennes focused on bolstering their blue-line and added a potential superstar at forward.
However, it is possible that they won’t have their first-round pick available to them until after the Olympics - if at all this season.
They used their first pick to draft the talented Mélodie Daoust out of McGill University. Daoust was on the 2014 Canadian Olympic team and is currently at Canada’s camp in Calgary for the 2018 Olympics. That means she would not be available to the team until after the Olympics unless she does not make the final roster.
