The Montreal Canadiens are considering all possible options with the 5th pick in the upcoming draft. An attacker seems to be the organization's choice.
Now, who will be the lucky one at 5th overall? Names like Cayden Lindstrom, Tig Iginla, and even Beckett Sennecke are being mentioned.
The Athletic platform conducted a simulated draft, and the Canadiens' choice could interest many fans.
According to this "Mock Draft," Ivan Demidov would end up in Montreal. It's no secret that the Canadiens and their management have had a long-standing interest in the talented Russian.
If such a scenario unfolds, the Canadiens could acquire a highly promising offensive prospect while staying at the 5th position, without making any trades. A more than ideal situation for the organization in rebuilding the team.
