It's practically become a "running gag" among the fans and experts of the Montreal Canadiens, but we know that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton seem to be big fans of the 2019 draft.

From this class, they acquired Kirby Dach, they have been linked to Trevor Zegras, they tried to draft the next Moritz Seider, they acquired Alex Newhook, and they have been linked notably to Raphael Lavoie and Jakob Pelletier.

Dreger on Insider Trading: «Multiple sources have said Drury is taking calls on Kakko, now losing Chytil for the remainder of the season is a big blow for the Rangers, but NYR has cap space and potentially the assets like Kakko to acquire a significant piece."

Only 22 years old, he was the 2nd overall pick in the 2019 draft. Selected one rank behind Jack Hughes and one rank ahead of Kirby Dach, Kakko has accumulated 104 points (49 goals) in 267 career NHL games.
