Episode Details

The Canadiens traded up to grab big, fast, and physical forward Gleb Pugachyov at 26th overall—clearly a high-priority pick. Standing 6’3”, he’s a two-way winger with elite skating for his size, a strong forecheck presence, and a knack for delivering big hits. Last season, he racked up 10 goals and 14 assists in 33 MHL games, plus 3 goals and 6 assists in 16 playoff games. While his skill and competitiveness are undeniable, his discipline needs work—something the Canadiens believe coaching can fix. They’re betting on his potential to be a game-changer with his size, speed, and physicality.
