Montreal Canadiens assistant coach Alex Burrows gave an interview to TVA Sports yesterday.
He mentioned a piece of information that was suspected, but never confirmed by the Tricolore's staff.
The Habs will draft either Juraj Slafkovsky, Shane Wright or Logan Cooley.
« I watched a little bit of Juraj Slafkovsky at the World Championship, but I didn't watch that in as much detail as our scouts did. I also watched a bit of Shane Wright in the OHL series and did the same with Logan Cooley. It looks like it will be one of those three players, I guess. They seem to be on every scout's list. Regardless, it's going to be a great player that we draft and I'm looking forward to working with him in September.. »
This is no surprise, but did he say too much?
To be continued.
