In the final minutes, on day two of the 2022 National Hockey League Draft, Kent Hughes and the Canadiens have just acquired a great goaltender via the draft.

"With the 162nd overall pick, the Canadiens select goaltender Emmett Croteau of Waterloo in the USHL." - Montreal Canadiens

Croteau, 18, is a 6-foot-4, 195-pound goalie who played in the USHL last season. In 35 games in 2021-22, Croteau maintained a 16-16-3 record, a 3.00 goals-against average and a 0.900% save percentage.

The Habs wanted to add a young goalie via the draft, it's now done and they drafted the 10th best goalie in North America, according to the official drafting center.
