A Top 3 pick awaits the Canadiens in Dallas

The 2018 NHL Draft Lottery has spoken, and the Montreal Canadiens are selecting the third spot in the NHL 2018 Draft in Dallas this coming June.

After months of waiting, the Montreal Canadiens finally know where they are going to write in the NHL Draft in June. At the beginning, it was a fairly docile lottery, since everyone fell into the positions where they should be. That was until the eleventh pick.

It was assumed that the Carolina Hurricanes would be there, but instead, the New York Islanders emerged giving them consecutive selections in the first round. The most important thing is that the Hurricanes won a lottery. The countdown continued, and when the Montreal Canadians were supposed to get up, the most beautiful thing happened, but they did not. Arizona, welcome to your fifth global selection.

By the end of the first wave, Montreal, Carolina and Buffalo had won one of the three lotteries. Unfortunately, the NHL decided to push for the latest revelation in the second half of the Vegas-San Jose game. It was an awkward wait, to say the least. The only thing we knew was that the Canadians in Montreal were going to have the opportunity to add one of Rasmus Dahlin, Andrei Svechnikov and Filip Zadina.

According to Mikaël Lalancette, the Sabers had 59.7% of which revealed that they won the lottery, followed by Montreal with 30.6% and Carolina with 9.7%.

Then, it was time for the results. The Canadians from Montreal were revealed to choose the third place in the NHL Draft of 2018.

Montreal Canadiens Set Up For Their Best Draft Ever

Montreal Canadiens goes to the off-season with an abundance of sediment. This gives them the opportunity to create a franchise for the next decade. Montreal Canadiens suffered from a miserable season 2017-18. The victory in 29 games during the long 82nd game schedule is not ideal. In fact, the team only had twice less wins, dating back to the 1963 season. One of them was in 1994-1995, when the lockout reduced the NHL calendar to 48 games. Even in 2012-13, although they played 48 games, they were able to win 29 games. Hell, in the 1940s there were only 50 or 60 game schedules, but they could still win 30. Going out in first place in 29 of 82 games should not happen in the era of NHL parity. The bright side of horror in the NHL is that you are rewarded with the best choice in the NHL project. Montreal did not get the best choice, but should choose the third in the annual tournament. They are not only ranked third, but also general manager Mark Bergewin has been collecting fees for ...

Bouchard hiring could lead him to bigger things with Canadiens

On Thursday, Montreal Canadiens named coach Lauel Raul, his partner of the American Hockey League, Joel Buschar. The 44-year-old Bouchard is doing well in Sylvain Lefevre, who was fired at the end of the regular season after six years of work. It was also announced that the assistants of Lefevre Donald Dufreve and Nick Carrier will not return. Bouchard left as co-owner, president, general manager and coach of the Blaineville-Boisbrand Armada of the Quebec Majors of the Junior Hockey League to accept a missile work that one day could lead to coaching or management work with the NHL club.

The Canadiens are in position to have their best draft haul in years

As the playoffs of the National Hockey League continue, and the teams are playing to raise the venerable Stanley Cup, the iconic Montreal Canadiens are planning next season. The team with most of the Stanley Cup championships in the history of the NHL - 24 - Montreal did not even claim the playoffs in what was a disaster of the 2017-2018 season for the Canadiens. As fans in Montreal are surprised that it did not go so late with their favorite team, just like the supporters of Canadiens in Sault Ste. Marie - including the self-proclaimed no. 1 fanatic Habs, the legend of local radio Lou Turco. It's been a while since Montreal won its last Stanley Cup. It would have been in 1993, when the Canadiens, supported by the goal of the play-off of the most valuable player Patrick Roy, won three overtime games to drive out the "Los Angeles Kings" in the Stanley Cup finals.
