Canadiens: Potential First-Round Pick – Jackson Smith

Next month, the NHL will hold its annual draft, and it won’t be a centralized event for the first time. Each team will remain in its facilities, and while it will probably make the event less expensive for teams, I think it’s a shame for fans. Unless GM Kent Hughes pulls off a couple of trades, the Montreal Canadiens will speak twice in the first round. They’ll have two consecutive selections at numbers 16 and 17.
