All that is clear is that the Habs will have the chance to select a very outstanding player in the next draft.
The fifth pick in the draft is the Habs’, and there will be some very good players available at that spot.
In any case, a number of identities have previously been connected to the Montreal-based group.
Ivan Demidov, Beckett Sennecke, and Tij Iginla are a few of them.
In actuality, when we discuss forwards, these are the names that come up most frequently.
