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?

Segment 2: BIG Topic - Results Not According to Plan
Canadiens head coach Marty St. Louis said that this season would be defined by intent not results. Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes have said that the focus should be on sustainable, long-term development.
The Canadiens are currently 20th in the standings which places them outside a top-10 pick in the NHL Entry Draft. This has been achieved with Joel Edmundson and Mike Matheson missing considerable time to start the 2022-23 campaign as well as learning that Carey Price will be unable to play this season.
What has contributed to their success and how does this change plans for management?

Segment 2: BIG Topic - One That Got Away: Charlie Lindgren
Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes are dedicated to ushering in a new era in the evolution of the Montreal Canadiens particularly in the area of player development. Hughes has committed to putting the resources and supports in place to develop more positive relationships with players to (quote) "get the best out of everyone" and have "everyone pulling together."
Pulling together in the same direction wasn't the case during the tenure of Marc Bergevin. The development of many promising prospects was stunted or left unfulfilled until they moved to other organizations.
Charlie Lindgren had a stellar season in 2021-22 with the St Louis Blues organization including impressive wins over the Canadiens and the Laval Rocket. In the off-season, Lindgren signed a three-year, $3.3M contract with the Washington Capitals.
Exclusive interview Rocket Sports with Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren.
