With a big win yesterday against the Florida Panthers, the Boston Bruins took control of their series with a 3-1 lead. They have won their last two games on the road and will have the opportunity to eliminate their opponent at home tomorrow night. In short, barring a dramatic turnaround, the Bruins are giving the Habs a serious run for their money, and CH fans are loving it! Basically, a loss to the Panthers in the first two rounds guarantees the 17th overall selection in the 2023 draft with the pick obtained in the Ben Chiarot trade. Now, this is the best possible scenario for the Tricolore, in the current situation where the Panthers have managed to qualify for the playoffs at the last second. This would mean that the Habs would select in the top 7, in addition to getting their hands on the 17th pick. This is a great result to continue to add top talent to the organization to speed up the rebuild. Now all the Bruins have to do is give the Panthers the final push to confirm the 17th overall pick in the CH's 2023 auction.
