Montreal Canadiens and the NHL Draft: Can Kent Hughes do what Marc Bergevin didn’t?



Inside today’s Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens are confirmed to be picking fifth overall, and Kent Hughes addressed the media after the Draft Lottery on Monday night. Habs fans feel slightly uneasy afterwards with Hughes mentioning work ethic and character repeatedly. Scott takes a peek into Hughes’ quotes, and why fans should give the Habs’ front office time to cook heading into draft season.

Speaking of the characteristics Hughes mentioned, which prospects would fit them at fifth overall? Scott takes a look at the results of a poll from Twitter at who the fans want the Canadiens to draft in June and breaks down the results. With Matevi Michkov getting a lot of the attention, will Kent Hughes take the risk and land a potential superstar forward, even if it means waiting three years?

If not Michkov, then who? Scott takes the final segment to highlight the other prospects who may be available for the Habs at the number five pick. Would Zach Benson be better as he might check more of the boxes the Habs want, or will Montreal be lucky to see Leo Carlsson fall out of the top four and into their lap? Of course there is also podcast favourite, Will Smith as well, the options are nearly limitless for the Canadiens!

  1. Kent is the most stupid gm of the league…
    He messed up the rebuild this year one of the best draft years and habs had no chance of making the playoffs and he still messed up

  2. Zach Benson reminds me of a super skilled and much better Brendan Gallagher. Benson is awesome but you gotta go Michkov if its between those 2 players.
