Can the Montreal Canadiens look to move from No. 26?
Marco D'Amico of Montreal Hockey Now: The Montreal Canadiens own the 26th pick in the NHL draft in the trade of Sean Monahan to the Winnipeg Jets. There have been speculations that they could use the team to sell their top six players such as Martin Necas, Trevor Zegras and Nikolaj Ehlers. What if they look to move from the No. 26?
The Canadiens took Sam Dickinson and Cole Eiserman out to dinner at the scouting facility. The source said the Canadiens have liked Eiserman for a while now. Eiserman can fall into the 'teens.' They may need to travel in the 10-17 range.
The Canadiens could look to make a similar move in their Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook trades.
If the Canadiens drafted a defenseman like Dickinson, Anton Silayev, Zeev Buium, or Zayne Parekh, it could mean they would be dealing with one of their defensive prospects like Logan Mailloux or a player like Jayden Struble or Arber Xhekaj. Stack that with No. 26 and how far can they go?
