Here we are, at last, the infamous draft day. Excitement is at its peak right now across the league, but especially in Montreal, as the Canadiens seem to be at the center of several hot topics currently.
As we mentioned earlier, the Canadiens are reportedly in discussions with several league teams about their draft pick, now commonly referred to as the "Matvei Michkov" pick.
The Detroit Red Wings have reportedly made a significant attempt to move up in the draft in order to get their hands on the Russian prodigy. According to rumors, they have made a monstrous offer to get the 5th pick of the Canadiens.
In connection with a possible transaction of this famous 5th selection, Sportsnet's insider, Elliotte Friedman, has just unveiled some very interesting information for Canadiens' fans.
According to what is being said in the NHL backstage, several teams expect to see Kent Hughes move again, who would indeed be open to stepping back in the draft to make another big hit by capitalizing on Michkov's value.
