The Canadiens would have finally already made a decision on the case of Matvei Michkov
According to the excellent journalist Eric Engels from Sportsnet, the Montreal Canadiens have definitively made a decision on the case of Matvei Michkov with the 5th overall pick in the upcoming draft.
If he is available at their pick, the Tricolore will not select him, despite his immense talent that compares to the future first choice of the auction, Connor Bedard.
This information thus confirms some rumors that have been circulating on the subject for a few days.
Still according to Engels, the club's choice is likely to be Ryan Leonard or David Reinbacher, in the logical scenario where Will Smith is expected to be chosen among the top four.
Here is the excerpt from Tony Marinaro's Sick Podcast on this subject:
