The Montreal Canadiens head into the 2017 NHL Draft with needs, just like every team in the NHL. What that need is depends on who you ask, but most fans will tell you that the team desperately needs a top level centre within the organization.
Make no mistake there are plenty of them in this draft, unfortunately for the Canadiens those that could step in an make a difference during their current Stanley Cup window are highly unlikely to still be on the board at 25th overall. Players like Lias Andersson, Cody Glass, and even Michael Rasmussen are likely to have been scooped up before Montreal approaches the podium.
