Goalie Thomas Milic with the Montreal Canadiens organization? General Manager Kent Hughes has a great opportunity
Tonight, the entire Canadian team realized just how talented and promising a young goalie Thomas Milic is.
He was sensational in the World Junior Hockey Championship semi-final against the United States, even winning player of the game.
He was very solid throughout the tournament.
Is there any good news you would like to hear? Milic is still free as a bird. He doesn't belong to any NHL team.
Milic had tryouts with the Minnesota Wild and the Seattle Kraken, but was released in both cases.
He's already gone through two years of draft eligibility without hearing his name selected, but he's currently playing like a goalie who no longer wants to be ignored by the NHL."
Minnesota Wild reporters and fans are calling for his immediate signing:
On the other hand, they don't own him.
As you know, while the Montreal Canadiens have some promising names under contract, the long-term future in front of the net is far from assured.
It even seems to be a gap in the club's rebuilding.
What if Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton acquired the young goalie Milic for free? Imagine if he develops like a Devon Levi (recently mentioned).
Do you like the idea? It could also happen in the draft, but we absolutely believe it's worth looking at the young Milic in the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Milic, 19, has a 0.920% efficiency rating this season in the WHL. (0.912% last season)
He absolutely looks like he has the potential to be a future NHL goalie, and to see him play like this, on the biggest stage, in the biggest moments, is extremely encouraging.
