The Canadiens selected Alexander Zharovsky with the 34th pick of the last draft. The Canadiens were happy to see that he was still available… because they didn’t think the youngster would still be available in the second round. And that’s why Kent Hughes tried to move up in the first round. He called two clubs to make sure he could be selected,at least according to a recent RG Media article . The player’s agent, Dan Milstein (the same guy who handles Ivan Demidov), said the Habs wanted to trade with the Hurricanes and Blackhawks to get Zharovsky in the first round, but it didn’t happen in the end. Reminder: the Habs still managed to move up to 32nd by trading pick #41 and pick #49 to the Hurricanes… the Canadiens really liked him, to put it another way.
