The Habs 3rd Overall thread is pretty packed. I thought I could start a new one that includes all of their selections. If mods feel this is similar to the NHL Entry Draft sticky thread, by all means, merge and/or delete this one. But I figured that one is a little more NHL general and this could be for the Habs specifically.
We all know this is a big draft for the Habs. Moving up a spot in the lottery from 4th to 3rd might have seemed a bit of a let down at the time (considering how far the Canes moved up). But I think we can all agree that we'd much rather be the Habs, who moved up a spot, then to be the Sens, Yotes, Canucks, and Wings, who all moved back a spot or two spots.
So here are the spots the Habs are selecting in. Some are still not etched in stone because some of them depend on some teams' playoff performances to determine where the Habs will select.

#62 - Caps' 2nd R'd pick (from the trade of Eller for '17 2nd R'd pick (Ikonen) + this pick) (this was also the conditional pick in the Sergachev/Drouin trade that returned to Habs when Sergachev played 40 games)
