According to the GM, it will be the most important of his career so far.
And the first major step of the summer will of course be the 2024 National draft, and the pick that the Habs will have to make with its own first-round selection. (a top 7 overall pick guaranteed)
To this effect, there is a future star player who has very clearly announced that he would love to be drafted and eventually sign his entry contract with Montreal!
Obviously, prospects don't close doors and they all say they would like to play for the CH, but Berkly Catton has gone even further.
In his case, it is clear that Montreal is probably his favorite destination. (By the way, I don't know why we don't talk more about him honestly)
Catton is, according to several experts, the 3rd or 4th best player in this 2024 draft.
See his statement:
Wow! He mentions that he could not see a better scenario than being drafted by the Tricolore.
His #1 scenario seems to be being selected and playing for the Montreal Canadiens. We love it.
And we're talking about a very special talent here.
If it weren't for Macklin Celebrini, Catton would absolutely be in the discussion for the 1st overall pick.
Catton, 5 feet 11, is an 18-year-old left-handed center who has amassed a very solid 116 points, including 54 goals, in 68 games this season in the WHL. An incredible production.
A name to remember, that one!
