"I had very interesting discussions this morning with someone close to the draft for the Canadiens. Here are the main points:
We're looking to add size at all costs with the top 5-7 pick. No 'small player,' unless Ivan Demidov is available, given his talent, they'll probably make an exception. But Berkly Catton doesn't seem to be a conceivable option for them (at this time). And it would be very surprising if they drafted a defenseman unless the context really calls for it.
The Canadiens are really in love with Beckett Sennecke. To the point where he would be one of the candidates with their first-round pick. That being said, I don't think they would select him ahead of Cayden Lindstrom or Ivan Demidov. By the way, I know McCagg has already talked about Sennecke, but I don't know exactly what he said and if he directly linked him to the Habs. But I can confirm that they see him in their plans.
That's all for now. It's little, but that's it!
Marc-Olivier Beaudoin"
