Kent Hughes and the Canadiens to acquire another high draft pick? Pronman just reported it
Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens might acquire another high draft pick, according to what expert Corey Pronman just mentioned.
There's currently a buzz in the city, especially after Kent Hughes acquired Patrik Laine, and people are really starting to talk more and more about the NHL playoffs.
However, as the Canadiens' GM recently mentioned in an interview, it wouldn't necessarily be a failure if the team missed the playoffs this year.
On the contrary, it would even be a pleasant surprise, according to Kent Hughes.
That said, there are experts from all corners of the NHL who still consider the Montreal Canadiens to be a bottom-tier team, despite the progress of the young players, the arrival of Patrik Laine, and the return to health of Kirby Dach.
This is particularly the case for Corey Pronman.
The Montreal Canadiens will need to add one or two more high draft picks before being competitive
The expert from The Athletic sees the Montreal Canadiens securing another high draft pick at the end of the 2024-2025 season.
We highly recommend reading the full article.
Pronman, who considers that the Canadiens have the sixth-best prospect pool in the NHL, clearly believes that Montreal will need to be patient before completing their rebuild.
One or two more high picks also means one or two more seasons far from the playoffs.
