Who Will the Montreal Canadiens Select in the First Round?

Friday’s NHL Entry Draft Lottery presented all hockey fans with the first significant NHL event since the season was suspended on March 12th. With this in mind, it comes as no surprise that the eyes and ears of millions of hockey fans were focused on the lottery that has historically refused to reward the teams at the very bottom of the NHL standings.

This year was no different, with the Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators missing not only the vied-for #1 pick but the #2 pick as well, with the LA Kings snatching the pick that will presumably enable them to select Quinton Byfield whenever the 2020 draft ends up taking place.
