The Montreal Canadiens hold the fifth overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft, and teams rarely move out from that position once they have it. While there is often a lot of chatter about trades on the draft floor, it usually just results in a few later picks being moved for other picks.
Could the Canadiens look to buck that trend this year? There is a scenario that exists where it makes a lot of sense to move down from the fifth overall pick to a slightly later pick in the top ten.
The Canadiens sitting at number five could possibly just miss out on their targeted player.
