Unexpected surprise coming for the San Jose Sharks at the 4th overall pick? It would be a huge moment for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens

However, a new one has recently come up and it's coming from a reputable source. Expert Jeff Marek from Sportsnet just released his top 5 picks and there is a big surprise at number 4.

Imagine the scenario!

We all have memories of our reaction after a draft day surprise. One could think of the acquisition of Kirby Dach last season in Montreal. Or, one could think of the Columbus Blue Jackets shocking the hockey world in 2016 by passing on Jesse Puljujarvi and selecting Pierre-Luc Dubois (Puljujarvi was a unanimous top 3 pick at the time). If Benson does indeed drop to the 4th overall pick, it would be that type of reaction; shock and excitement at the opportunity to select Will Smith.

Marek believes in this scenario! He also adds that if San Jose passes on Benson, with Smith being taken instead, Benson could really be Kent Hughes' pick. His colleague Elliotte Friedman added even more to this idea saying:

It looks like the draft is going to come down to Smith, Benson and Reinbacher.

Everyone is really excited for the draft to begin, as it features some of the best potential talents in the league.
