When we think of Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, and Connor Bedard, and then imagine that the Canadiens could have a player who accomplished something as great as they did, optimism runs high.
With the 5th overall pick, the Canadiens will have another promising young player with great potential, and one of them has achieved something remarkable.
The Saskatoon native is the 4th player in the CHL since the new millennium to score 50+ goals and 115+ points in his NHL draft-eligible year, following Crosby, Kane, and Bedard.
He will need to bulk up, as his 170 lbs aren't enough, but once matured, he should be quite a player.
