Montreal is noted that they likely would've taken Buuim or Beckett, but they also had a deal in place (likely with winnipeg or carolina) for a forward if demidov was gone. That tells me they we're likely to trade some D and then draft a D if that was too happen. So i don't think Beckett was there targetThe issue is a couple of the teams behind Anaheim were high on him too….
If I remember correctly columbus/Montreal and Utah had him high on their lists and prob would have taken him.
