A Canadiens' goalie prospect is leaving: Kent Hughes must be furious
The Canadiens' organization has a specific plan for each of its prospects, and Kent Hughes is well aware of these plans.
When a newly drafted young player decides not to follow the established plan, it likely doesn't sit well with the organization, especially when it delays their development.
Goaltender Mikus Vecvanags, who was selected in the 5th round by the Canadiens last June, has chosen not to report to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan and instead will play in the BCHL.
The BCHL is a less competitive league compared to the QMJHL, which surely displeases Kent Hughes and the Canadiens' management.
Martin Lapointe initially mentioned that the young goaltender would play with Blainville-Boisbriand in the Armada, but the Titan picked him before they could.
This selection prevents the Canadiens from having their prospect close to the team, and now he'll be even farther away in a weaker league.
