Summary
The Canadiens pulled off a surprise third-round steal with Cooper Cleaves — a big, right-shot defenseman who’s been flying under the radar. At 20 and overage, Cleaves played his way into NHL eyes with a standout freshman season at Dartmouth, helping them win their conference and reach the NCAA tournament. A quick skater with offensive upside and a strong shot, he’s raw but promising — and the Habs are betting big on his potential to develop into a key piece.
