Last-minute official NHL statement involving the Montreal Canadiens' 5th overall pick

In the last few minutes, the official page of the National Hockey League has released a statement always anticipated year after year.

It is their official Mock Draft in anticipation of the draft. One can, of course, notably see which player is drafted by the Montreal Canadiens during the exercise.
