Segment 2: BIG Topic - Mock the Montreal Canadiens First Round Picks
Montreal Canadiens fans have 11 draft picks in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, including two selections in the first round. It's yet to be determined where the second, first-round pick will fall, but we know that the Canadiens own the fifth overall pick in the draft.
At last year's draft, Kent Hughes acquired the 13th overall pick from the Islanders that he used to complete a trade with the Blackhawks for Kirby Dach.
Will Hughes use the second, first-round pick to create a Dach-like trade or could he use it to address the Canadiens goaltending need?
