If this is true, hopefully, they've done the same with FloJack's teammate, Marek Vanacker.
If they haven't they are blind.
I have said it repeatedly, Hughes will be judge more on what he does with respect to the Winnipeg pick than who he goes with at 5 OA.
I can live with any of the usual suspects that have been analyzed and discussed
ad nauseam here for the last two months. There are, however, a handful of forwards who will be available at the 15 OA to 31 OA range who, if selected, would immediately become Montreal's best forward prospect. Vanacker is one of them. Hopefully, Hughes won't be sitting on his hands and if one of these elite forwards 'drops' he is pro-active and uses some of his available assets (the Avalanche's second round pick, or one of his young defencemen) to move up and grab that forward.
Let's see just how intuitive and resourceful Hughes actually is.
