With its first round pick of the 2017 MLS Super Draft , the Montreal Impact select USBC's Nick DePuy, a forward. With the 19th pick, Montreal goes for offense with a tall striker (6ft5) that will definitely be used as a target man.
DePuy comes into the draft as the fourth-highest scoring player in UCSB history, proving that he does have a knack for goal.
