More and more, there's one name that seems to really interest Montreal Canadiens fans, with less than a month to go before the NHL Draft.

We're talking about young forward Carter Bear, who is often compared to players like Brad Marchand, Brandon Hagel, or Brendan Gallagher.
He genuinely seems like someone who could be the steal of the draft-especially if he slips to the Canadiens' 16th overall pick... and now he's just sent a very interesting message.

Carter Bear sends his message and confirms he'd be thrilled to play for the Montreal Canadiens

The young man would love to play for the Habs-he truly seems to have a preference for Montreal, and I honestly think the feeling is mutual.
Here's an excerpt from an article by the excellent Nicolas Cloutier (from TVA Sports), specifically about Bear.
It's when you mention Montreal that Bear gives his most heartfelt answer.

He's at a loss for words on the other end of the line.

"That would be pretty cool.

Like.. really cool.

There's just so much history with Montreal.

How many [legendary] players have come from that organization?

I can't find the words.

It would be pretty special to be part of it," he said with a touch of excitement in his voice.

We highly recommend checking out the full feature.
It'll be fascinating to follow at the draft, and we'll see if Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton find a way to get Bear.
Carter Bear, 18 years old, 6 feet tall and 180 pounds, recorded 82 points in 56 games this season, including 40 goals (in the WHL).
