TSN analyst, Craig Button, is perceived as an expert when it comes to future NHL prospects. In the past few hours, he has unveiled his new list in anticipation of the upcoming draft, and a massive surprise has emerged in his top-5.
It would be a major drama if the Canadiens drafted Swedish defenseman, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, at the 5th rank, who was ranked between the 10th and 20th ranks by many experts. According to the analyst, Sandin-Pelikka would notably be ahead of David Reinbacher, who was seen as the best defender of the 2023 class.
