The Habs were busy on the second day of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, making seven more selections as well as three trades. As always, here are the details, stats, and scouting reports for each one.
Karl Alzner’s time with the Canadiens has come to an end as the team announced on Wednesday that after he cleared unconditional waivers, they bought out the remainder of his contract, making him a free agent.
While GM Marc Bergevin wasn’t hiding the fact that he was open to trading the 16th pick, he opted to keep it as the Canadiens selected defenseman Kaiden Guhle from Prince Albert of the WHL.

At the NHL level, right wing isn’t the deepest position for the Habs with left wingers often playing out of position. However, there is help on the horizon in the prospect cupboard.
The Habs aren’t waiting for Wednesday’s deadline to tender their qualifying offers. Instead, they announced on Saturday that five of the eight eligible players received an offer to allow Montreal to retain their rights.
For years, the Habs have been seeking quality depth down the middle. They finally have it in Montreal although their prospect pool at that position isn’t quite as strong as it has been recently.
