Montreal Canadiens: For those who weren’t drafted, think of Shea Weber

The 2003 NHL Entry Draft is still remembered as one of the best in NHL history. The event saw a goaltender in Marc-Andre Fleury go first overall while other future stars such as Eric Staal, Ryan Kesler and Patrice Bergeron made their way into the league. That was also the year Shea Weber got his time in the spotlight being drafted in the second round 49th overall before making his way to the Montreal Canadiens down the line.

It was still an interesting journey for Weber, one that started back years before starting with the WHL Bantam Draft.
