The Canadiens are sitting at the 5th spot in the upcoming draft, and it's already known that Tij Ingila has caught the organization's interest. However, according to some reports, the forward could be selected earlier than expected.
Ingila has been steadily improving since the holiday period and has just had a great tournament with Canada at the Under-18 World Championship.
Several scouts believe that he could continue to blossom in the coming seasons, potentially leading to an earlier selection in the draft than anticipated in mock drafts and some lists.
The Canadiens have reportedly met with Ingila multiple times this season, and he has become a favorite among the team's scouts and executives.
