As we are about ten days away from the famous NHL draft lottery that will determine the fate of the Canadiens for the next draft, discussions are increasingly fueled about what could happen with the Habs during this crazy day.
As we know that Kent Hughes would potentially like to make another "Kirby Dach-like" trade that would accelerate the rebuilding process while respecting the organization's long-term plan, there could well be a bold move by the Habs GM again this year.
The proposal could technically hold up, given that the Quebec forward was a first overall pick, and everyone hopes he will bloom soon, much like Dach did this season at age 21. His potential is still very much there, and a change of scenery may benefit his career in the future.
However, even though Lafrenière could play immediately in Montreal and the top-7 pick may not join the team for at least another year, there is a good chance that this prospect could have a greater long-term impact in the NHL than the Rangers' number 13.
