The second day of the draft was a quiet one for the Habs as they had just four selections, the earliest of which came at the bad of the 3rd round. Montreal used their picks to shore up their forward depth while adding an extra blueliner to the fold.
For the first time since 2011, the Habs selected a defenceman in the first round of the draft on Friday night. With the 26th overall pick, Montreal picked Noah Juulsen from the Everett Silvertips of the WHL.

The 2015 NHL Entry Draft is just a day away and the Habs currently hold the 26th pick.

The last three years, the Habs have shied away from picking defencemen in the top-50 at the draft. Understandably, that has left the depth at that position quite underwhelming. There are several blueliners who could be strong options for Montreal with the 26th pick on Friday. One of those is Jacob Larsson.
An exciting scoring forward by the name of Jake DeBrusk may be available for Montreal to select at the #26 position at this month’s NHL Entry draft. DeBrusk is another draft eligible player who has bloodlines to the NHL, as his father Louie DeBrusk played for over 400 games in the pros.
