Montreal Canadiens General Manager Marc Bergevin has never traded away his first round draft pick while running the Habs.
In fact, the Canadiens as an organization have used their first round pick every year since 2008, when they traded it for Alex Tanguay ahead of the centennial season.
This year could be different though. The Canadiens just made a run to the Stanley Cup Final and that could give Bergevin the incentive to try and load up for next season.
Also, the team lost captain and top pairing defender Shea Weber who will be on long term injured reserve for all of next season and possibly won’t play again.
