The Montreal Canadiens will once again step onto the stage with their first pick at 5th overall. Mathias Brunet has a small idea of the Tricolore's intentions.
The columnist is convinced that Kent Hughes and his associates have a preference for a forward. However, at 5th overall, it's very possible that players like Ivan Demidov and even Cayden Lindstrom may already be chosen.
At BPM Sports, Mathias Brunet stated that the Canadiens should pivot to a defenseman if both forwards are already drafted. Is Tij Iginla not in the plans?
"If Cayden Lindstrom and Ivan Demidov are off the board, I believe the Canadiens will opt for a defenseman..."
