Something incredible is reportedly on the verge of happening with the Canadiens' lineup soon

There is no doubt that most championship teams are built through the draft. It is essential for each NHL team to be able to select top-tier players in the first round.

Although the Canadiens faced a lot of difficulties between 2008 and 2015, the Tricolore's management has made excellent choices since 2019, selecting players with huge potential such as Cole Caufield, Kaiden Guhle, Logan Mailloux, Juraj Slafkovsky, Filip Mesar, and David Reinbacher.

Moreover, upon his arrival as general manager, Kent Hughes began a rebuilding process aimed at making a youth movement within his lineup. The organization's recent selections fit perfectly with this strategy and are likely to play a major role in the Canadiens in the years to come.

When taking into consideration the current players on the roster as well as all the prospects who could possibly join the Canadiens by 2025-2026, we see that 12 first-round picks could be in the Tricolore's lineup. It's worth noting that for this exercise, we have kept Sean Monahan, who is likely to sign a contract extension if he stays healthy and performs well this year.

Here are the 12 first-round picks that could potentially be in the lineup in 2025-2026:

Wow! It's impressive to see how many first-round picks could be part of the team in a few years. Of course, this statistic is far from being a guarantee of success, but it shows that the rebuilding process put forward by the organization is heading in the right direction.
