Canadiens draft forward Alexander Zharovsky in second round
The Montreal Canadiens were active in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, trading their two first-round picks and moving up in the second round. (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press) The Montreal Canadiens did not make a selection in the first round of the NHL Draft, but quickly made a trade to improve their position in the second round on Saturday and select a player they clearly had their eye on. The Habs set their sights on forward Alexander Zharovsky with the 34th overall pick. To do so, they traded the 41st and 49th picks to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for the 34th and 189th picks. Zharovsky, who played for Ufa Tolpar in the Russian junior league, was ranked fifth among international skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau. A 6-foot-1, 163-pound left-handed right winger, Zharovsky scored 24 goals and 26 assists in 45 games last winter. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau noted his exceptional progress during the last campaign. The Canadiens also made a trade with the Boston Bruins to move up to 69th overall in the third round. They sacrificed their 79th and 108th picks and selected right-handed centre Hayden Paupanekis of the Kelowna Rockets. The 6-foot-5, 202-pound powerhouse scored 22 goals and 21 assists in 71 games last winter with the Spokane Chiefs and Rockets. He was ranked 38th among North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau. It notes that he is not afraid to get physically involved, but adds that he can be considered a 'project,' meaning he will need time to develop. At 81st overall, the Canadiens selected right-handed defenceman Bryce Pickford of the Medicine Hat Tigers. Then, at 82nd overall, the Habs opted for Belarusian goaltender Arseni Radkov of Tyumenski Legion in the Russian junior league. Pickford is 19 years old and had 20 goals and 27 assists in 48 games with the Tigers last winter. He added 13 goals and 11 assists in 18 playoff games, helping the Tigers win the Western Hockey League championship. For his part, Radkov, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall, is committed to attending the University of Massachusetts in two years. In the fourth round, the Canadiens selected American centre John Mooney with the 113th pick. A small player at 5 feet 8 inches, he is known for his dynamism and instinct on offence. He has committed to attending the University of Minnesota in two years. He is the cousin of Utah Mammoth star Logan Cooley. The Canadiens also had a fifth-round pick (145), two sixth-round picks (177 and 189) and a seventh-round pick (209). On Friday, the Habs did not have a first-round pick. They traded the 16th and 17th picks in the afternoon to the New York Islanders, along with forward Emil Heineman, in exchange for defenceman Noah Dobson. It was the fifth time in franchise history that the Canadiens did not make a first-round pick, and the first time since 2008. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on June 28, 2025.

Vancouver Canucks select Braeden Cootes with 15th pick in NHL draft
Braeden Cootes spent a year living in Vancouver in the past. And the Canucks' opening-round pick at the 2025 NHL draft is hoping it's eventually home for a long time. The first Canadian club to make a selection Friday night chose the centre from the Western Hockey League's Seattle Thunderbirds at No. 15. "Honestly, I kind of blacked out for a second," Cootes said. "It was crazy. It was an unbelievable moment I'll always remember." The 18-year-old from Sherwood Park, Alta., put up 26 goals and 37 assists for 63 points across 60 games as Seattle's captain in 2024-25. Cootes lived in Vancouver for a year earlier in his teens and is familiar with the city. "Went to quite a few Canucks games," said the five-foot-11, 183-pound forward. "This is unbelievable." Vancouver finished 10th in the Western Conference last season, six points below the playoff cutline. "I love it out west," Cootes said. "Couldn't be happier." The Canucks have already been active this off-season, acquiring Evander Kane from the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, while fellow winger Brock Boeser is set to become an unrestricted free agent Tuesday. The Montreal Canadiens owned the 16th and 17th picks, but dealt both to the New York Islanders along with forward Emil Heineman for defenceman Noah Dobson in a blockbuster swap. The Calgary Flames were the next Canadian club on the draft board, selecting centre Cole Reschny with the 18th overall pick. The Senators chose defenceman Logan Hensler with No. 23 pick after trading down from No. 21 in a deal with the Nashville Predators that also secured the 67th overall pick for Ottawa. The Winnipeg Jets took Swedish defenceman Sascha Boumedienne at No. 28 before the Flames rounded out the first day of the draft by nabbing centre Cullen Potter at No. 32. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers previously traded their first-round picks. Rounds two through seven go Saturday. 'I can't wait to get started' The 18-year-old Reschny registered 92 points (26 goals, 66 assists) in 62 games with the WHL's Victoria Royals in 2024-25. "Special just getting this opportunity to be drafted by such a great organization," said the product of Macklin, Sask. "But it's also a dream come true. It's something I've worked towards my whole life and my young hockey career. "I can't wait to get started with the Flames." Reschny added that growing up in a community of 1,200 people helped mould him on and off the ice. "It's a blue-collar town," he said of Macklin, which is close to the border with Alberta. "We're lucky. We've got a nice rink there. We've got nice ball diamonds and a nice nine-hole golf course." Macklin said he helped his dad and grandparents on the farm for many years. "It just shaped me into the hard-working and competitive guy I am today." Reschny didn't have a great start to his draft-eligible season, but came on strong in the second half of the schedule and the playoffs. "I'm very confident," he said. "I just tried to stay level-headed all throughout the year. I knew it was a big year for me. Getting this opportunity to go through this process was special. "It was just sticking to it and having the right mindset of getting better day in and day out. That was the mindset I had, and it worked out for me." The six-foot-two, 192-pound Hensler had two goals and 10 assists in 32 games at the University of Wisconsin in 2024-25. The product of Woodbury, Minn., was part of the United States team that won gold at the 2025 world junior hockey championship in Ottawa back in January. "It's been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid to play in the NHL," Hensler said. "All good emotions … I'm super excited."

2025 NHL Draft: How will the Canucks draft in rounds 2 to 7?
Whatever happens Friday night for the Vancouver Canucks in round one of the NHL Entry Draft, we know this much: They will make selections in the rest of the draft, which continues Saturday morning. Article content This year's draft is an unusual affair, with teams making their picks remotely rather than in years past where they all assembled on a common draft 'floor,' usually an arena, although last year at The Sphere in Las Vegas and in its original 1960s and '70s form at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. Article content Article content Article content Friday night's big show is at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles and league officials will run the remainder of the draft from there. Article content Canucks GM Patrik Allvin and his chief scout Todd Harvey will call their picks in from the team's offices at Rogers Arena. Article content As of Friday afternoon, the Canucks will pick 47th, 65th (originally San Jose's pick), 143rd, 175th and 207th. Article content How the picks will play out is anyone's guess. Article content A few round-by-round notes: Article content 47th overall (round two) Article content It's hard to believe a team in the Canucks' position has had so few second-round picks over the past decade, but here we are. Article content They haven't picked in the second round since 2021, when Jim Benning rolled the dice on Danila Klimovich, passing up on the likes of Logan Stankoven. Article content Klimovich had an impressive World U18s in front of Benning — that tournament was in Texas, and you'll recall Benning's return was how we learned he and some of his colleagues had somehow scored a national interest exemption from quarantining upon return — but has yet to play in the NHL. He's shown growth in the AHL, but remains a longshot to be an NHLer. Article content Article content Stankoven, on the other hand, has played NHL games in Dallas and was a key piece in the Mikko Rantanen trade. Article content Article content As a counter, the previous second-rounder was Nils Höglander, selected in 2019, who has proven to be a solid NHLer. Article content Beginning in the fourth round, the chances of finding an NHL player really start to dive. The last time the Canucks drafted a player after the fourth round who played NHL games was Adam Gaudette in 2015. Article content Gaudette was actually the fourth time in five years the Canucks found NHL games in the fifth round, following Gustav Forsling — who obviously never played in Vancouver — Ben Hutton and Frankie Corrado.
