Canadiens 2015 Top 25 Under 25: #10 Michael McCarron

"What? Who? Why?"

That was in essence the collective reaction of many Habs fans as they watched the Canadiens select Michael McCarron with the 25th overall pick back in 2013. He wasn't on many radars when the Canadiens' turn came, but when the broadcasters spoke of his particulars, it became abundantly clear why he was on the Montreal's. Standing at 6'5" - 6'6" depending on who you ask - and over 220 pounds, they finally had the hulking centre that pundits had long claimed was a desperate need.

At first glance it was easy to look at the pick as one made on physical stature alone, and the word bust was tossed around quite liberally, myself being one to do so.
