The 2018 NHL Draft is almost here and although the Habs are picking third overall, they could go quite a few routes with that selection. Our writers offer up their thoughts on what Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins should do.
As is our annual tradition, here is HabsWorld’s official 2018 mock draft. The Habs hold the 3rd overall selection in the first round following their victory in the lottery back in April. In our mock, we project the entire first round plus all of Montreal’s picks inside the top-100.
Marc Bergevin certainly isn’t afraid of making potentially unpopular moves. Following his latest of those trades which saw Alex Galchenyuk go to Arizona for Max Domi, our writers weigh in with their thoughts on the swap.
Welcome to HabsWorld’s annual draft pool. The Habs are slated to have the 3rd overall selection following a bit of luck in the Draft Lottery. Make your guess as to who the Canadiens will select as well as who the rest of the league will pick in the first round.
The Habs have a fair bit of depth on the wing but most of it is on the left side, leaving the right wing a little thin which is something that can be said for their prospect pool as well.
As has been the case with several offseason trade acquisitions in years past, the Habs have wasted little time getting a deal done with Max Domi, signing him to a two-year, $6.3 million contract.
Marc Bergevin shook up Montreal’s forward unit late on Friday night, shipping Alex Galchenyuk to the Coyotes in exchange for Max Domi.
Centre has been a position of need for the Habs for a long time now. On the plus side, they are starting to accumulate some depth at the position in the minors and amateur ranks.
The Habs have strong depth on the left side up front but can the same be said for the rest of the organization? Our depth series continues with a look at Montreal’s left winger situation.
One of Montreal’s pending restricted free agents is heading for Germany as centre Markus Eisenschmid has signed a two-year contract with Adler Mannheim of the DEL.
