For the Montreal Canadiens, it’s draft time, once again, not expansion draft time, Entry Draft time, my favourite yearly NHL event. I have spent the last year, and last two months especially, scouting draft-eligible players and the time has come for me to present six players I would adore seeing in the Tricolore on Saturday, day two of the event. I covered my targets for the 30th pick in a separate article.
I wrote similar articles the last two seasons and while the Habs picked exactly none of the 20 players I outlined, if you include last year’s honourable mentions, I think both the Habs’ picks and my targets have progressed rather well since their respective draft days.
