Go Habs Go
So far the Habs have 9 picks next year, all of their own except a 5th (Reilly trade) and 7th (traded to Flyers) but they have an extra 4th (flames), two 5th round picks (Edm/Hawks) and the Jets 7th round pick.

Kirby Dach. That is all.
Hughes and Dach I think will be the big prizes, though a lot can change over the next year.
Cozens, Newhook, Kakko and Byram I’ll also be watching with interest.
Other names I am sure will emerge as the year goes on.
C - Alex Turcotte
American kid plays for USDP and University of Wisconsin commit. Fun fact, his father has played for the Sherbrooke Canadiens and the Montreal Canadiens. His grandfather is Quebecois but has played for Michigan State University.
I think the stars are aligned for this kid to be a Montreal Canadiens next year if he progresses well and becomes a dominant elite center.

Alfie Turcotte was a huge bust for Habs. Our second round picks his draft year Claude Lemieux and Sergio Momesso had much better careers. Alfie never lived up to potential.
Maybe we got a lifetime supply of 7th rounders as a parting gift to the Desjardins/Leclair trade?What's with Montreal and Philly trading 7ths all the time? Here you can have this year's 7th for next year's, so weird.
Should be a quality top 10 in 2019.
Jack Hughes (C)
Kirby Dach (C)
Dylan Cozens (RW)
Kaapo Kakko (RW)
Tobias Bjornfoot (D)
Bowen Byram (D)
I expect all of them to be in top 10 and at least 4 to be in top 5.
Don't we have two 5th round picks in 2019, Edmonton's and Chicago's?
