According to reports from the RG website, Konyushkov mentioned that he would be absolutely thrilled to cross the Atlantic and eventually suit up for Martin St-Louis' squad.
Here's an exact excerpt from his statement.
This speaks volumes about his intentions for the future.
Yes, he clearly has his sights set on a career in the National Hockey League, and he could become a very good draft pick for the Habs.
He could be another young defenseman to keep an eye on in the Canadiens' development pipeline.
Konyushkov, 21, is a 6-foot, 171-pound right-handed defenseman who was drafted in the fourth round by the Habs in 2023 (110th overall).
