Once again this year, there will be talent in the NHL draft. No, there won't be a Connor Bedard, although Macklin Celebrini is quite a hockey player.
However, the top 10 should be very interesting. It's at the 5th position, according to Bob McKenzie's list, who is the most reliable in the business, that young Cayden Lindstrom could be selected.
Former Vancouver Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins has a very interesting comparison for him.
"If I had to compare him to anyone, it would be Eric Lindros." - Willie Desjardins
Lindstrom is simply a force. He's fast, strong, and very talented. This season, in 32 games, he has 46 points, including 27 goals and 66 penalty minutes.
He's an exceptional athlete, and if the Canadiens continue to lose, which should logically happen given the injuries and upcoming transactions, they could once again have the 5th overall pick.
