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.
With the youth cupboards looking pretty bare on defence, the Canadiens may have a shot at a hot commodity on the backend in Czech defenceman Jakub Zboril. He could be a steal as the 26th pick by the Canadiens, should he last that long in the draft.
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.
