Remember how much hype there was around Alexander Romanov before and at the beginning of his arrival with the Montreal Canadiens. Even before analyzing his play in the National Hockey League, it was widely reported that he was a steal for the organization in the 2018 amateur auction.
Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins set their sights on him at the 38th spot, while most teams saw him going out in the 4th or 5th round, showing that he wasn't on many teams' radar. While he has some good qualities, his shortcomings scare coaches...
That being said, Mathias Brunet built a poll via Twitter and Romanov lost a ton of feathers since Kaiden Guhle is now in the picture. He is now the favorite among the Habs defensive prospects, who had a very surprising camp.
