The 2015 NHL Entry Draft saw the Montreal Canadiens on the clock only five times. All players selected that year have received an entry-level contract with the club starting with Noah Juulsen who was taken 26th overall and most recently Lukas Vejdemo selected in the third round. Matt Bradley was the only casualty of that draft.
The Habs took the centre in the fifth-round (131st overall) from the Medicine Hat Tigers. Bradley’s offensive production increased from his draft year. He put up 17 and 23 assists in 71 games that year which improved to 34 goals and 43 assists two seasons later.
