The Canadiens had two first-round picks, the 5th and the 26th. After a trade with the Los Angeles Kings, they managed to acquire the 21st overall pick, moving up five spots, which is significant. We know the Canadiens need scoring power, and the selection of Ivan Demidov addresses that. However, Kent Hughes wasn't done yet, as he just picked Michael Hage. He's a young Ontarian who has faced a lot of adversity and tragedy with the loss of his father. He came back even stronger last season and became captain of his team. A solid forward who can only get better.
