With one exception, we know the exact selection rank of each of the 12 choices that Montreal Canadians hold for the next draft.
The elimination of CH in five games in the first round against Washington’s capital, Wednesday evening, confirmed that his first round choice will be the 17th.
The ranks 17 to 28 of the recovery are distributed to the 12 teams that bow in the first two laps; The teams that have not finished at the top of their section are first classified by looking at the general classification upside down. Section champions follow.
Thus, as the New Jersey Devils were also released in the first round and finished the regular season in front of the CH in the general classification, they will just recover after 18th.
The only missing data is quite negligible. It concerns the choice of 1st round of the Flames de Calgary, which Kent Hughes obtained in the brilliant exchange of Sean Monahan. There are tiny probabilities, up to 1.1%, that the flames earn one of the lotteries for the first and second choice and advance to sixth row (a team cannot jump by more than 10 levels). In doing so, their choice would be protected and the tricolor would inherit the first -round selection of the Florida Panthers.
Otherwise, the games are made for the following 11 choices. But everything indicates that the highest choice that CH will hold will be that of the Flames in the 16th step.
Here is the full portrait. For the choices that were originally the property of the team, the calculation is simple. CH will be the 17th team to speak in each of the seven rounds. There are some transactions in passing.
