Habs draft a huge success

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.
