Montreal Canadiens 2010 Draft Class: A Small Class Offers Plenty NHL Experience
By Nate Duffett
It's officially draft month! For June, we will look back at some of the draft classes to see how the Habs front offices of the past did with their selections. It's too early to examine some of Kent Hughes' first few draft classes. The 2010 class will be the subject of our 12th look at the history.
The Montreal Canadiens 2010 draft class has more NHL games played than the 2008, 2009, and 2011 classes combined. The NHL held the 2010 draft in Los Angeles, California, at the Staples Center. It was the historic Taylor vs. Tyler draft, as Taylor Hall went first to the Edmonton Oilers and Tyler Seguin went second to the Boston Bruins. Erik Gudbranson rounded out the top three with his selection by the Florida Panthers.
