The Montreal Canadiens, like every other NHL team, very seldom have a fifth-round pick that makes it to the NHL. While Joshua Roy isn’t there yet, his recent performance at the Habs Prospect’s Camp was promising.
Roy would be the third player in the lineup to be selected beyond the fourth round, should he play for the Habs in 2023. Brendan Gallagher was picked in the fifth round, 147th overall, at the 2010 Entry draft, in Los Angeles. While recently extended Rafael Harvey-Pinard went in the seventh round of the 2019 Draft, at 201st overall.
