“I think we’ve taken great strides (this season) in what we’re trying to build,\u0022 Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis said.
For those who think getting the No. 1 pick and a generational player like Bedard means a Stanley Cup championship is around the corner, consider that the Edmonton Oilers selected Connor McDavid with the first pick at the 2015 draft and have only won three playoff rounds since then while missing the postseason three times. The Oilers finished 28th out of 30 teams during the 2014-15 season before winning the draft lottery and getting McDavid.
The Canadiens were in 25th place in the overall NHL standings after Tuesday night’s 3-1 win over the Sharks in San Jose. If they stay in that position, their odds of winning the draft lottery will be 6 per cent. The Canadiens also have two first-round picks this year after acquiring one from the Florida Panthers in the Ben Chiarot trade last season.Article content
The Toronto Maple Leafs finished last in the overall standings in 2015-16, won the draft lottery and selected Auston Matthews. They haven’t won a single playoff series since then, while the Canadiens have won four playoff series over that time and advanced to the Stanley Cup final in 2021 after eliminating the Maple Leafs in the first round.Article content
Work ethic has been a key to the Canadiens’ recent success with 10 injured players out of the lineup. Since the all-star break, they have a 6-3-0 record — including a 6-2 win over McDavid’s Oilers.Article content
