Canadiens Daily: Stanley Cup Playoffs Affect Draft Picks For Canadiens

If the Dallas Stars upset the Calgary Flames, will second first round pick for the Montreal Canadiens be higher?

Boston Bruins winger is being that perfect combo of pest and superstar again.

That, all your Stanley Cup Playoffs news and more in the latest MHN Canadiens Daily:

Montreal Canadiens

My partner-in-scribe at Montreal Hockey, Marco D’Amico brought up an interesting tid-bit about the second first round draft pick the Montreal Canadiens have in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

ICYMI, Marco put out the first MHN pre-Draft rankings three days before the Montreal Canadiens take part in the NHL Draft Lottery and hope their ball pops out with Shane Wright written on it.

BOS: Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand, is cooking dinner in the head of Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo.

Pitt: Pittsburgh Penguins forward Kasperi Kapanen hasn’t scored in three games against the New York Rangers but he does appear to be climbing out of Mike Sullivan’s doghouse.

Philly: Philadelphia Flyers fans have apparently tuned out the Flyers.

Wash: Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson is still day-to-day and questionable for Game 4 against the Washington Capitals.

Colorado: Up 3-0 in their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series with the Nashville Predators, should the Colorado Avalanche just sit injured starting goalie Darcy Kuemper?

San Jose: The San Jose Sharks are reportedly trying to unload the contracts for defensemen Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns on the NHL Trade Market.

Calgary: The Calgary Flames think part of the reason they’re down 2-1 in their series with the Dallas Stars is because they’re getting hosed by the referees. Cry me a river!

Also, the Flames are trying to pull a Tom Brady era New England Patriots and pretend they’re the underdog despite being the clear-cut favorites against the Dallas Stars.

If you're confused about Gaudreau calling the #Flames underdogs today you haven't been reading @calgaryhockeynow. My story from before the playoffs started. https://t.co/2l7VOeUvNF
