It’s here. This year’s draft was going to be the centre stage for a turning point for the Montreal Canadiens. Trevor Timmins and the rest of the scouting staff have been getting prepared for this moment and the prospective players to join the organization. The first step is calling out a name; the second is building that name into an NHL player.
Tonight is the first-round of the draft while rounds 2-7 are set for tomorrow. The Montreal Canadiens got some luck from the hockey gods turning their 28th finish into the third-overall pick.
