Journalist Eric Engels has just reported some interesting information regarding right-handed defenseman Bryce Pickford.
The Montreal Canadiens have just announced his signing!
It must be said that the young Pickford is having an absolutely exceptional season in the WHL with Medicine Hat.
See the publication from journalist Engels.
"Sounds like an entry-level contract is done for Bryce Pickford with the Canadiens. The RHD, taken 81st in the 2025 Draft, has been torching the WHL with Medicine Hat this season. He has 25G, 44P in 31 games after posting 13G and 25P in 18 playoff games last spring."

The right-handed defenseman drafted in 2025 by the Montreal Canadiens is drawing attention because his numbers this season are incredible.
Pickford was selected 81st overall, in the third round. With the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Western Hockey League, he has recorded 25 goals and 44 points in 31 games.
That places him among the most productive defensemen in the league, and it explains why fans are excited about this news.
Last year, Pickford had already made his mark in the spring. He scored 13 goals and 24 points in 18 playoff games, in addition to producing 47 points in 48 regular-season games.
At 19 years old, he also stands 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs around 185 pounds, a profile that always draws interest when it comes with goal scoring.
More details to follow.
