Summary
Montreal Canadiens pull off a savvy draft move, trading up to land top defenseman Timofei Runtso at 57th overall—sending two later picks to Carolina. The 18-year-old WHL standout, headed to Miami University, brings speed, smarts, and playmaking ability that scouts love. It’s not their first trade-up this year—they also snagged forward Gleb Pugachyov at 26th. With limited picks, the Canadiens are clearly prioritizing future upside, banking on young talent to reshape the roster. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
