Rumor: Signs indicate Montreal may be planning a gigantic move at the draft.

There are signs that the Montreal Canadiens have big plans for the 2017 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

While there have been nothing but rumors up until this point, NHL.com's Arpon Basu, who focuses on Habs coverage, is now reporting that Nolan Patrick is expected to visit with the Habs in the coming days.

To put this in perspective, Basu is reporting that the Habs are among three teams with whom Patrick will visit, with the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers being the other two.

Of course the Devils and Flyers have the top two picks in the draft, so it makes sense that Patrick would visit there, but why would he be visiting with Montreal unless the Canadiens believe they can make a move for him at the draft?

This is definitely one story you'll want to pay close attention to over the coming days.
