Someone needs to look up If that second rounder is NHL player
I would love to know. There has to be a retrospective thread about it.
Halak and Ryder were both under contract by the Habs from the start of 2005-2006 to the end of 2007-2008. Ryder was there before and Halak was there afterward.
- In 2006, the Habs had two 2nds, which they used on Ben Maxwell (49) and Mathieu Carle (53). Lucic was picked one spot after Maxwell, and Anisimov was picked one spot after Carle. Coincidentally, these two are by far the best players picked in the 2nd round.
- In 2007, the Habs used their 2nd on PK Subban (43). The only other impact player selected in the 2nd round after 43rd overall was Wayne Simmonds at 61.
- In 2008, the Habs used their 2nd on Danny Kristo (56). Jimmy Hayes was picked 5 spots after and is the only notable player selected after Kristo in the 2nd round.
