Montreal Canadiens Prospect Cole Fonstad Leading WHL in Assists

The Montreal Canadiens have loaded up on draft picks the past three years. In the 2018 NHL Draft, they made eleven draft picks. Last year they added ten more prospects to the pipeline. They host the upcoming NHL Draft in June and currently hold 14 selections for that weekend.

That is a whopping 35 draft picks in three years, assuming they keep their 14 picks. Heck, they could trade down a couple times in the middle rounds and add even more than the 14 picks they currently have. We have seen general manager Marc Bergevin pull that move a few times already recently so why wouldn’t he continue to add more picks?
