Canadiens: Redrafting Last 10 1st Round Picks

How would the Montreal Canadiens lineup look like if they had made different choices in the 1st round?

Marc Bergevin has been very adamant that the key to success is through the draft. It has been 4 years since Bergevin’s first draft and we’re beginning to see the fruits of his labor. The only established player he has drafted is Alex Galchenyuk but Charles Hudon, Michael McCarron, Jacob de La Rose and Sven Andrighetto are on their way to full-time NHL action. We are also anticipating the arrival of Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Reway this fall.

But what if, over the last 10 years, the Canadiens made different choices? What if they targeted different players? How would the team look like today? We’re going to redraft each 1st round pick made between 2006 and 2015. Some of them may end up being worse while others will obviously be better than the original.
