The Montreal Canadiens drafted seven players in the 2020 NHL Draft. Here are the grades for every pick.
The Montreal Canadiens headed into draft weekend with 11 picks to their name, but a series of trades led to them reducing that number to just eight. They did also come away with Josh Anderson in a trade and have stocked up on picks for next year’s draft as well.
Still, the team added eight new players to their organization over the past few days.
Their organization is pretty well stocked with young players already. Many draft and prospect watchers over the past year have ranked the Habs system among the top five in the league at the moment.
They didn’t have a really early pick, but they did pick 16th overall. They also had a couple of picks in the second round and a trio of picks in the fourth round. This gave them six of the first 124 picks and a chance to add some decent talent to their budding young core of prospects.
How did they do? Let’s take a quick look at each pick and rank how the team made out.
