The dream of every Habs fan in the short term is to win the Connor Bedard lottery. The young forward is a top-notch prodigy with a bright future ahead of him. No matter where he ends up, he is sure to become the face of this team. With tonight's loss, the Habs are now guaranteed to finish 28th in the NHL. It's not a great result, but it was expected and it's a very good year for it to happen. Indeed, besides Connor Bedard, the 2023 NHL draft promises to be excellent, especially the top 6. The Habs now have an 8.5% chance of winning the Bedard lottery and an 84.6% chance of selecting top 6. <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/255047.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> No need to mention that if the CH wins the first place for a second year in a row, it will be crazy in the metropolis! However, if this is not the case, the chances are excellent to have a very good young player.
