The Montreal Canadiens finished with the fourth worst record in the NHL this season. They were fortunate to move up one spot in the NHL Draft Lottery and will now pick third overall. It’s rare that a top three pick gets traded, but would the Habs consider it?
Well, general manager Marc Bergevin would consider any trade as long as it made the team better. He has to keep all of his options open with such a valuable asset. The safe choice would be to keep the pick and take the best player available.
