Habs Eyes On The Prize · Jun 27, 2015
Getting to know your 2015 first round pick Noah Juulsen
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsFor this year's draft, the Canadiens elected to address their need for more prospects on defense, by selecting Noah Juulsen of the WHL's Everett Silvertips. The teammate of Habs prospect Nikita Scherbak will join the young Russian as the newest member of the Habs' prospect corps.
You may be inclined to let the name fool you, but believe it or not Juulsen is a Canadian, native of Abbotsford, British Columbia. He's a smooth, if not elite level skater, moves the puck well and makes a good first pass. He played big minutes for the Silvertips in all situations, including a healthy amount of powerplay and penalty kill time.
