"I had very interesting discussions this morning with someone close to the draft situation for the #CH. The main points ⬇️"
- We're looking to add weight at all costs with the top 5-7 pick. No "small player" unless Ivan Demidov is available; with his talent, they'll probably make an exception. But Berkly Catton doesn't seem to be an option for them (at this point). And it would be very surprising if they drafted a defenseman unless the context really calls for it.
- The Canadiens are really in love with Beckett Sennecke. To the point where he would be one of the candidates with their first-round pick. That said, I don't think they would select him ahead of Cayden Lindstrom or Ivan Demidov. By the way, I know McCagg has already talked about Sennecke, but I don't know exactly what he said and if he directly linked him to the CH. But I can confirm that they see him in their mix.
That's all for now. It's little but it's that! 😉 - Marc-Olivier Beaudoin
