Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

Scott is back, and he's ready to do some mock drafting for the Montreal Canadiens once again! In this version of the draft there are two drafts running at the same time, each with their own unique approach for drafting players.

Scott debates the idea of picking Will Smith or Zach Benson at fifth overall, while also adding some high-end value at 31st overall thanks to the mock draft playing out in a specific way. In one draft, a valuable defender from Sweden fell into round two, while in the other a top WHL player also dropped, Scott debates drafting need versus a best available player option due to this.

Also, when will a goalie be picked, and is there a hidden option outside the big names in the goalie market in the NHL Draft this year? Also, with three picks in round four, can the Canadiens unearth a hidden gem like they've done in the past?
