Montreal, which missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season with a 31-45-6 record, will have the highest selection of any 好色tv team in this year's draft, to be held June 28 and 29 in Nashville, Tenn.

The Vancouver Canucks (11th) and the Calgary Flames (16th) round out the 好色tv teams who will select in the top 16, while the Ottawa Senators will send their 12th-overall pick to the Arizona Coyotes. The Chicago Blackhawks won the lottery and can select Bedard first overall.

Bedard, a 17-year-old centre from North Vancouver, B.C., is the most anticipated draft pick since Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid was eligible for selection in 2015.

But the talent available in the draft doesn鈥檛 end there. The Canadiens will still have top players to choose from when their pick rolls around four selections later.

Adam Fantilli, a centre from Nobleton, Ont., won the Hobey Baker Award as the top player in men鈥檚 college hockey this season. Leo Carlsson of Sweden is NHL Central Scouting鈥檚 top-ranked European skater.

American centre Will Smith recently turned heads by earning Most Valuable Player honours in last month鈥檚 under-18 world championship. And Matvei Michkov, at times seen as Russia's best prospect since Alex Ovechkin, has broken several teenage scoring records in the country.

Michkov, who could be in line for Montreal to take at No. 5, has been harder to scout than others amid Russia鈥檚 invasion of Ukraine and is under contract with Kontinental Hockey League club SKA St. Petersburg through the 2025-26 season.

Hughes called the five-foot-10, 172-pound winger 鈥渁 special case,鈥� and says the team has a lot of evaluating to do regarding both his play on the ice and the risks that come with drafting him.

鈥淚t's kind of a risk-reward assessment for any team that is considering drafting him,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t would be a tiebreaker 鈥� if you鈥檙e considering Michkov and another player you deem very, very comparable in terms of talent and potential, then those factors are probably going to weigh him down.

鈥淚f we determine that Michkov is a lot more talented than the other players available at the draft, we鈥檒l have a decision to make.鈥�

Hughes said the Canadiens are looking to draft the best player available instead of drafting for need, identifying hockey sense, character and 鈥渃ompete鈥� as ideal qualities.

鈥淲e鈥檙e looking for the player we think is the most talented, who can have the biggest impact over the course of his career for the Montreal Canadiens,鈥� Hughes said. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 tell you if it鈥檚 a big player or a small player, or whether it鈥檚 a defenceman or a forward or a goalie.鈥�

As far as moving the pick goes, Hughes said not to expect it.

鈥淚鈥檇 say it鈥檚 unlikely,鈥� he said. 鈥淏ut I could never tell you it鈥檚 impossible without knowing what we鈥檙e choosing from.鈥�

Hughes said he was open to moving their next selection in the draft 鈥� a first-round pick acquired from the Florida Panthers in last year鈥檚 Ben Chiarot trade.

Montreal won the draft lottery last year after finishing the season with the league鈥檚 worst record and selected Slovakian winger Juraj Slafkovsky with the No. 1 pick 鈥� the club鈥檚 first since 1980.

The 19-year-old Slafkovsky struggled to adjust to the NHL this season. He produced four goals and six assists and was minus-13 in 39 games before suffering a season-ending knee injury on Jan. 15.

The last time the Canadiens selected fifth overall was in 2005, when the organization picked franchise goaltender Carey Price.
