The Athletic insider confirms that the Canadiens first round pick in 2019 draft was a steal

Expert at The Athletic, Scott Wheeler, has redone, already, the 2019 NHL Draft.

The journalist confirms that the Montreal Canadiens pulled off a real steal.

According to his new ranking, Cole Caufield goes from 15th to 5th. A jump of 10 positions for the young Canadiens forward is quite impressive.

Let's just say that the CH had a lucky hand.

Just ahead of Caufield, we find Jack Hughes (1st), Trevor Zegras (2nd), Moritz Seider (3rd) and Matthew Boldy (4th).
