Grading the Montreal Canadiens 2016 draft class

I have very mixed feelings after this draft. The Canadiens made a few decisions that I absolutely love, and a few that I really don't. In the end, they picked up four new prospects to add to the existing pool, and added a roster player from a perennial contender.

Let's get things started with something good.

Mikhail Sergachev (9)

Love. This. Pick. Mikhail Sergachev was arguably the best defender in the entire draft class. I view him as having a very good chance of becoming the next Andrei Markov, and he has hands like Alex Kovalev.
