Justin Carbonneau: the Canadiens are (very) well placed to draft him

Ahh, drafting local…
Ask Trevor Timmins if he enjoyed being forced to draft Louis Leblanc in 2009 instead of Chris Kreider. I’m sure he still has nightmares about it.
A similar pick awaits the Islanders (with a first overall pick that could change plans in New York) as James Hagens comes from New York.In the 2013 draft, everyone saw the Avalanche drafting Seth Jones at #1 because Jones grew up in Denver.
Believe me, the Islanders really have no obligation to draft James Hagens.
