With their third pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the Montreal Canadiens jumped across the Atlantic to Finland to select Oliver Kapanen who spent his last season playing for KalPa’s U20 team. While Riley Kidney has drawn praise for his playmaking and on-ice vision, Kapanen is all about putting pucks in the net. He put that skill on display when he led the U20 league in Finland with 25 goals in 37 games played. His strong play also earned him a loan in the second-tier Mestis where he put together a strong five-game showing as well.

For the 63rd selection in the 2021 NHL Draft, the Montreal Canadiens looked to their own backyard so to speak, taking Riley Kidney from the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the QMJHL. The general consensus around Kidney is that he will be more of a long-term project for the club, but there is a lot to like about his game.
Birthplace:
Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL)
He had a solid 2020-21 season with the Titan, putting up 38 points in 33 games. What likely put him on the Habs radar, however, was his explosion of 17 points in just nine playoff games that same season. I actually caught one of his playoff games and have to say he stood out a lot as a highly skilled player at the junior level.
MONTREAL Eight playors had stars in their eyes Saturday as Montreal locked in their NHL draft picks: Forward Riley Kidney (63rd overall) Forward Oliver Kapanen (64th overall) Defenseman Dmitri Kostenko (87th overall) Defenseman William Trudeau (113th overall) Defenseman Daniil Sobolev (142nd overall) Forward Joshua Roy (150th overall) Forward Xavier Simoneau (191st overall) Goalie Joe Vrbetic (214th overall) Riley Kidney of the Quebec Junior Hockey League s Acadie-Bathurst Titan joined the Canadiens prospect pool at the end of the second round, picked 63rd overall. The five-foot-11, 168-pound centre said being drafted was a dream come true. It kind of feels surreal right now. My phone s blowing up, he said, silencing a call. Words can t describe how I feel right now.
