The Habs' new staff is in its final stretch to be ready for their first draft, which will be at the Bell Centre no less. After spending some time in Finland for the World Championship, the group of men led by Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are currently in Buffalo where the NHL Combine 2022 is being held. They have, as of Monday, the opportunity to meet with young prospects in preparation for the upcoming draft.
We learn today a big scoop, according to the usually reliable SportExpress, when a major decision would have been made internally not to select Russian players in the next draft.
So we won't see Danila Yurov, Ivan Miroshnichenko, Gleb Trikozov or any other promising young Russian men in the CH's 2022 draft if the news turns out to be true.
