The Canadiens climb to 34th place and draft in Alexander Zharovsky

After yesterday’s first round of the draft, the final six rounds of the auction take place this afternoon. And the Habs, who didn’t select yesterday, were in for a busy day.

The club has 10 picks today.

The #GoHabsGo draft picks heading into Day 2:

41st overall (via Pittsburgh), 49th overall, 79th overall (via Vancouver), 81st overall, 82nd overall (via New Jersey), 108th overall (via Detroit), 113th overall, 145th overall, 177th overall, and 209th overall.

That said, very quickly, the Habs traded the 41st and 47th picks for a 2nd center with the 34th overall pick.

And with that pick, they selected their first prospect of the current draft: Alexander Zharovsky.

The Habs trade picks 41 and 49 to advance to the 34th pick of the Hurricanes.

The Habs draft winger Alexander Zharovsky. He played at UFA junior.
