Summary
Montreal Canadiens make bold draft moves, selecting Russian forward Gleb Pugachyov in the first round—marking their third straight year choosing a Russian prospect—and trading up to snag top-tier defenseman Timofei Runtso, a standout power-play threat from Victoria Royals with elite puck skills and speed. Scouts rave about his impact potential, and with more picks left, the Canadiens are clearly building a future through smart, high-upside drafting.
