Montreal Canadiens Day Off and The Draft Lottery

Tonight’s the night that could alter the face of a franchise for the next decade or more. The Montreal Canadiens have the day off, sure, but they’ll also be peaking over at who wins what is really one of the most important draft lotteries of recent times. It will take place at 8 p.m. ET and is aired on TVA and CBC. The difference between getting one of the top 2 picks and falling to 3rd or beyond is more significant than we’ve had in a while. For franchises such as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres, attaining one of the top 2 picks is simply the best hope to turn around the hopes of franchises that so desperately need top-end talent.
