Very enjoyable video !
It’s hard to believe Hutson was 64th overall
Best pick had to be Lafleur, Price a very close second. Worst had to be Wickensier.
One player you did not mention was Tomas Plekanic. He was good with the Habs.
Great video as always
David Fischer, Louis Leblanc, Danny Geoffrion , Eric Chouinard, Danny Kristo, Sebastian Collberg, Marcel Hossa, Alex Perezhogin,
We failed at not acquiring Zegras, coach.
He was dealt to the Flyers 15mins ago and they almost gave nothing to acquire him.
This hurts!
Lafleur best Fischer worst
Another great pick and steal was the 51st pick in the 1984 draft, Patrick Roy.
Terry Ryan was a big miss, 8th overall in 1995. Could of had Jarome Iginla 11th or Petr Sykora 18th. The player Montreal was targeting was Shayne Doan but he went 1 pick before Montreal. Doan went 7th to the original Winnipeg Jets, now the Utah Mammoth.
Sam Pollack even tried to convince Detroit to trade the second pick to the Habs! Pollack was a genius.
…Chris Nilan was a very late pick.
