If the Minnesota Wild had listened to their Quebec scout in 2005, Carey Price would never have worn a Canadiens jersey. Louis Leblanc never expected to be drafted by the Habs at 18th overall in 2009 — the Buffalo Sabres had promised to take him at 13th if he was still available.

If Kent Hughes hadn’t invited actor Will Smith to a round of golf in a bid to woo Vincent Lecavalier back in 1999 — at a time when Hughes, with almost no clients, was considering leaving the hockey world — Montréal might not have its current general manager.

And if Lecavalier hadn’t entrusted his career to Hughes, rising star Lane Hutson — whom the GM has known since childhood — probably wouldn’t have ended up in Montréal, drafted by the Canadiens thanks to Hughes’ insistence…

Draft stories — and everything surrounding them — are always fascinating. A single decision can change the destiny of an organization. Canadiens fans know this all too well!

Mathias Brunet shares many captivating and funny, mostly never-before-told stories, after interviewing dozens of insiders from the hockey world.

After writing the two volumes on Pierre Gervais — Au cœur du vestiaire and En prolongation — hugely popular books that sold over 120,000 copies, author Mathias Brunet now completes his trilogy with his partner Richard Beaudry, president and publisher of Ovation médias.
