Kent Hughes' grand slam: The Montreal Canadiens hit the 6/49 jackpot
When projecting the future of the Montreal Canadiens, there's a level of optimism that hasn't been seen in a long time, even during the years when the team made the playoffs.
Not too long ago, the organization's top prospects were players like Nikita Scherbak, which speaks volumes about the shift the team has undergone since 2021.
While the end of Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins' tenure showed improvement in drafting, it's been nearly flawless since Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton, and Nick Bobrov took over.
When projecting the future of the Montreal Canadiens, there's a level of optimism that hasn't been seen in a long time, even during the years when the team made the playoffs.
According to former player agent David Ettedgui, the Montreal Canadiens struck gold with the selection of Ivan Demidov.
The young prodigy is an outstanding player and, according to him, should have been picked earlier. The 5th overall pick has turned out to be a blessing for Kent Hughes.
In fact, David Ettedgui even describes Ivan Demidov as a future superstar. According to him, the Canadiens haven't had a player of his caliber in 40 years of drafting, which says a lot.
We'll see in the coming years if he's right, but one thing is certain: the future is very bright in Montreal, and the fans have every reason to be excited!
