The draft will resume at 11 a.m. this morning.

The Canadiens still have seven picks. Their first pick will come at the end of the second round, 61st overall. That's part of making it to the semifinals in the playoffs: the draft takes longer for the fans.

But it's obviously worth it.

In the past, we've often seen Kent Hughes not shy away from trading picks, if necessary, on the draft floor. We should say on the floor of the CN Complex, but anyway.

Will that happen again this year?

On this topic, Eric Engels pointed out that the Canadiens often tend to move up in the draft. He says he wouldn't be surprised to see the team move up to draft before the 61st pick.

Interesting…

That would be exciting. Even if that's not what we meant when we wondered this morning about when Kent Hughes might make a move next. #BigTrade

If he's going to make a move like that, it'll happen in the next few hours. After all, things are going to move fast. Saturday's rounds don't move at the same pace as Friday's. #Faster

I'm all for the idea of moving up in the draft again, even if it means giving up a late-round pick. The Habs, after all, need to add quality rather than quantity—they've got plenty of prospects in the pipeline.

And if they do, they'll surely have a specific name in mind…


In a Nutshell

– Gavin McKenna's first baseball game.

– Interesting.

– Note:

– Major injuries in Carolina.
