What if the Montreal Canadiens had the first overall pick?

With the number of quality of scouting minds in the hockey world, fans are relatively aware of who the first overall pick is meant to be for a given draft. Unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the Montreal Canadiens haven’t been in a position to select first since 1980 when Doug Wickenheiser joined the organization. Sidney Crosby was set to go first in 2005 after years of build up as was Connor McDavid in 2015. However, sometimes it’s not as clear cut as who should be the first pick.
