During an interview with Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports, regarded as one of the top defensive prospects, Levshunov shared intriguing details about the strong interest from the Chicago Blackhawks in him.
The 18-year-old defenseman emphasized that the Blackhawks, holding the second overall pick in the draft, are seriously considering him.
This information holds significant importance for the Canadiens, eager to secure the best available talent. If Chicago opts for a defenseman rather than an offensive player like Ivan Demidov, it could increase the Canadiens' chances of selecting Levshunov.
Rumors also suggest that other teams are considering drafting defensemen with their top picks, which could influence the Canadiens' decision at the 5th overall pick. Demidov's fate remains uncertain, but fans hope that the Canadiens will have a favorable opportunity in the draft on June 28th.
