In 2019, the Canadiens selected Cole Caufield 15th overall. If the draft were to be repeated, it's a safe bet he'd emerge in the top 5. Since then, Kent Hughes has picked up Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook, who were respectively selected 3rd and 16th overall that same year. While that's already impressive, it's another player who's clouding the picture. We're talking about the 201st overall pick, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard. If we were to redo the draft today, he'd definitely be selected in the first wave. RHP is one of the top scorers of this draft, even though 16 first-rounders scored fewer points than him. Even better, if we look at points per game played, he ranks in the top 10. Here are the players he surpasses: <q>Alex Turcotte - Kings (5th overall): 0 points in 12 games Philip Broberg - Oilers (8th overall): 11 points in 70 games Victor Soderstrom - Coyotes (11th overall): 11 points in 50 games Thomas Harley - Stars (18th overall): 6 points in 40 games Lassi Thomson - Senators (19th overall): 5 points in 18 games Ville Heinola - Jets (20th overall): 11 points in 35 games Samuel Poulin - Penguins (21st overall): 11 points in 35 games Tobias Bjornfot - Kings (22nd overall): 15 points in 117 games Simon Holmstrom - Islanders (23rd overall): 9 points in 50 games Connor McMichael - Capitals (25th overall): 18 points in 75 games Jakob Pelletier - Flames (26th overall): 7 points in 24 games Nolan Foote - Lightning (27th overall): 7 points in 19 games Ryan Suzuki - Hurricanes (28th overall): 0 points in 0 games Brayden Tracey - Ducks (29th overall): 0 points in 1 game John Beecher - Bruins (30th overall): 0 points in 1 game Ryan Johnson - Sabres (31st overall): 0 points in 0 games [...] Rafaël-Harvey-Pinard - Canadiens (201st overall): 23 points in 40 matches</q> The way he's been playing this year so far, he's not about to stop producing. RHP picked up a superb assist on Sean Monahan's winning goal against the Chicago Blackhawks and hit a post earlier in the game. What's more, the Quebecer will most likely be relieved on a more offensive trio with the injury to Kirby Dach. Even without that, he richly deserves his place in the top 9, if not the top 6. A real steal! <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/mathiasbrunet/status/1712488315931312292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1712488315931312292%7Ctwgr%5Eeec12cd518bfc5f2ce9434cb7a9138f36cd6c453%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2Fcanadiens-de-montreal%2FAcquisition-du-Canadien-de-Montreal-qui-est-un-veritable-vol-de-nombreux-choix-de-premiere-ronde-du-repechage-de-2019-sont-moins-bons-que-Harvey-Pinard'> </a></blockquote></div>
