Then, with the 34th overall pick, the Canadiens selected forward Alexander Zharovsky from Ufa Jr. in the MHL.
The initial reactions to this Habs pick appear unanimous.. It’s an excellent pick, and all signs point to him being very high on Montreal’s draft board!
He was likely in their top 25!
A strong move by the Canadiens, live from Los Angeles!
“The word on the floor is that a lot of teams were hoping for Alex Zharovsky would fall to them.
A few trusted hockey minds have praised it as a high-up side pick.
Explains why the Canadiens were so aggressive in trading up for him.”
