The Canadiens came away from Pittsburgh with a trove of prospects, something they haven’t done in many years, lead by the third overall selection of Alex Galchenyuk. I won’t rehash the whole draft, but I will say that scout Trevor Timmins did some great work, nabbing Sebastian Collberg 33rd overall (many had him rated 3rd overall in Europe) and the prospect I may be most excited about, defenceman Dalton Thrower from the WHL.
GM Marc Bergevin and his staff deserve kudos for their breadth of selections, as the Habs now have a platform to build on, something they have lacked since the younger days of Plekanec, Kostitsyn et al. However, these guys won’t be firing on all cylinders until 2014 or 2015. On tap now? First off, Restricted Free Agents PK Subban and Carey Price must be signed.

With the 2012 NHL Entry Draft now in the past, it’s time to examine which team had the best draft in both addressing team needs and drafting the most talent. While the answer to those two questions won’t be answered and proven for at least a few years, I’m going to select my ‘early draft winner’ based...

Marc Bergevin's first draft as General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens has received rave reviews. Granted, Trevor Timmins has rarely fallen short of expectations on draft day, and to suggest he'd goof in the best positions he's held in his time with the Habs would be a gross miscalculation.
All that considered, what do we know about the kids that are now a part of...
