Overview
- The Montreal Canadiens selected Parker Trottier with the 189th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NHL Draft.
- Trottier is the grandson of Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier, a fact that draws attention but does not change his late-draft expectations.
- He developed at Shattuck St. Mary’s, currently plays in the U.S. National Team Development Program, and is committed to join the University of Notre Dame in 2027–28.
- Scouts describe him as a 6-foot-1, 185-pound left wing who plays with high energy, physicality and strong defensive instincts but has limited offensive output so far.
- The Canadiens see him as a patient, multi-year project similar to past late-round converts and will watch his NCAA progress and puck-skill gains as indicators of NHL upside.
