"The Canadiens are very high on left-handed defenseman Zeev Buium from the University of Denver and right-handed defenseman Zayne Parekh from the Saginaw Spirit, both of whom possess an important puck-moving element that the Canadiens lack on defense, apart from Lane Hutson, who is not yet certain to succeed as a defenseman in the NHL. I think both Buium and Parekh could be considered at 5th overall, although it's difficult to determine which of the two would be preferred, even though Parekh has the advantage of shooting right-handed!" - Arpon Basu
