The Montreal Canadiens concluded their draft in Las Vegas with 10 players selected, but none from Quebec. At least one received an invitation to the development camp.
Jules Boilard did not have the honor of being drafted by an NHL team in the Bubble, but he received very good news at the conclusion of this annual event.
The Baie-Comeau Drakkar forward has been invited to the next development camp of his home province team, the Montreal Canadiens.
At 19, he had a season of 50 points in his first campaign in the QMJHL. His brother, Raoul Boilard, was selected by the New York Rangers in the fourth round.
Jules Boilard could surprise at the development camp and force the Canadiens' organization to offer him an invitation to the real camp or even a professional contract in the coming years.
