Canadiens Draft Russian Unicorn
Description
Montreal Canadiens pull off a bold move at the draft, trading up to land Russian defenseman Gleb Pugachyov at 26th overall — a “unicorn” pick praised for his size, physicality, and hockey IQ. GM Kent Hughes confirms it’s the third straight year they’ve selected a top Russian talent, but stress they’re not targeting nationality — just need. The team’s offseason strategy? Proactively hunting trades, not just waiting. And with every draft pick standing 6-foot-plus and four of eight being defensemen, they’re building for the future with a clear, aggressive blueprint.
