As you know, unless there's a huge turnaround, the CH will select between the 5th and 7th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft.

"Per Stephane Gonzalez on BPM Sport, Habs management would've already met 4 times with Tij Iginla.

They love him and he's their main target in the 7-8 range."

- William Leblanc

@stephgonzz mentioned this afternoon that the Habs showed a lot of interest in Tij Iginla, having already met with him 4 times so far.Not surprised that he's the type of player the Canadiens management is interested in. A guy who contributes during the season but is built for the playoffs.It remains to be seen if they will be in a position to select him on June 28th.

Iginla, 17 years old, is ranked as a top-12 overall pick in the next draft by most experts. This season in the WHL, he has accumulated 84 points, including 47 goals, in 64 games. (plus 5 goals in 3 playoff games)
