Major: a source has just revealed the two players that would be officially targeted by the CH with the 5th overall pick
Indeed, it's a day of significant information leaks today!
After learning at noon that the San Jose Sharks are lining up to draft Will Smith at the 4th overall pick, a source has just clearly identified the two players that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens would be targeting at the 5th overall pick.
This is big! According to the same source, the phenomenon Matvei Michkov would not pass the 8th overall pick of the Washington Capitals.
If Michkov is available, they will draft him! Imagine the next Ovechkin with the Caps. It simply doesn't get made up.
Returning to the Montreal Canadiens' pick, if you listened to Kent Hughes's press conference, you're not surprised by these two names.
The GM of the Tricolore was extremely laudatory towards them.
He called Reinbacher the best defender of this draft and compared Leonard to the Tkachuk brothers.
To be continued! Would you be disappointed if the CH overlooks Michkov, to draft Reinbacher or Leonard?
