Montreal just took Aatos Koivu — Saku’s son — with the fifth pick of the third round
Montreal takes Aatos Koivu, Saku's boy, and a rising prospect over the course of the year. I had him No. 64. Good two-way work ethic. Obviously a great story. Be patient, MTL. He's just getting started. #NHLDraft #Habs
Aatos Koivu to the Canadiens. Perfect.
Montreal just took Saku Koivu's son, Aatos, with the No. 5 pick of the thrid round. The Quebec media might have a little bit of fun with that, eh?
