## Resource

Montreal Canadiens went all-in on size at the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, selecting eight players—all 6-footers or taller, five of them 6’3” or more—showing a clear blueprint to build a physically dominant future. They traded up twice to land Gleb Pugachyov, a bruising right wing with serious upside, and defenseman Timofei Runtso, a puck-moving prospect with top-four potential. Trusting their scouting eye—even if some picks surprised fans—they’ve revamped their development program to maximize these new talents. The message was loud: they’re building for the trenches, and size is non-negotiable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
