Last night, the Montreal Canadiens faced disappointment in the NHL draft lottery, as San Jose claimed the first overall pick and Chicago secured the second.
However, intriguing developments have surfaced today. According to well-informed journalists at the Blackhawks, via The Score, the selection of Ivan Demidov is not guaranteed, paving the way for a potential surprise for the Canadiens.
This unexpected scenario holds the promise of a significant win for Montreal in the draft. Rumors suggest Artyom Levshunov heading to Chicago, Anton Silayev to Anaheim, and Cayden Lindstrom to Columbus, leaving Demidov available for the Canadiens. This offers a glimmer of hope for fans.
