I’ve been thinking about Hayden as a player lately, and I’ve decided that it would be funny if he was like a top ten draft pick himself
Like we know when Shane got drafted Montreal was doing really poorly, hadn’t made playoffs in a while, so Shane definitely wasn’t their first top ten draft pick. And knowing hockey’s penchant for a dynamic duo, a center and winger especially, Hayden has to be pretty good to play on the same line as Shane (I’m pretty sure he does but if he doesn’t then oh well, I’m having fun). Hayden gets drafted a few years before Shane, but it’s still when Montreal is ass, so he’s gotta be a relatively high draft pick, I’m thinking somewhere between 4-7. It would explain why he gets so annoyed when ilya calls him Montreal’s 15th best player (I can’t remember if that’s the right number, but yall know what I mean) if he’s actually like the second best on the team.
