Fifth overall pick by the Canadiens: there's a new favorite for Kent Hughes!

We were discussing this last week, it's always interesting to look at sports betting odds when trying to predict who will be the infamous choice of the Montreal Canadiens with their fifth overall pick.

The 'oddsmakers' often know a lot more than we do, and many have very solid sources behind the scenes. They are rarely wrong.

Trusting them, last week, the favorite to be drafted by the Canadiens at the 5th rank was the phenomenon Matvei Michkov.

This has now changed, and fans will be pleased.


Mise-o-jeu announced on Monday that Smith is the new favorite. See the full verdict as of today:


This publication is perfectly consistent with increasingly serious rumors coming from San Jose, that the Sharks are extremely interested in drafting Matvei Michkov.

A case to follow, but having Will Smith in Montreal would really be great!
