The Montreal Canadiens prospect who has generated the most buzz in recent days is certainly their 2024 third-round pick, Aatos Koivu.
He led the Summer World Junior Championship with six goals and seems to be confirming that Kent Hughes made an excellent acquisition by selecting him 70th overall in 2024.
Yes, another great move by Kent Hughes that is becoming more and more evident!
It’s a big luxury because the Habs don’t “need” Koivu to become a solid NHL player – but if it happens, it will be an incredible bonus.
An Excellent Acquisition by Kent Hughes and the Canadiens Confirmed on Offense Thanks to Aatos Koivu
What seemed to be just a nice sentimental pick and a good story.. is turning out to be a truly excellent acquisition for the Canadiens’ future!
I’m really looking forward to following Koivu’s development this season, clearly in Finland’s top league.
Koivu, a right-shot center standing 6 feet tall and weighing 163 pounds, collected 8 points in 31 games last season in the SM-liiga – all at just 18 years old!
Additionally, thanks to Koivu, some rumors are linking young Viljami Marjala to the Montreal Canadiens, which could be another excellent acquisition confirmed because of Koivu – but let’s wait and see.
For now, we’re simply very happy and excited about the development of young Aatos Koivu.
He’s really on the right track!
