Arseni Radkov News: UMass commit joins Habs

Radkov was the 82nd overall pick by Montreal in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

Radkov was the No. 12 European goaltender, according to NHL Central Scouting. He was a bit of an odd pick at this stage of the draft, but he has some great things going for him. He is 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, giving him plenty of size in the crease. Radkov also won't turn 18 years of age until early August, so he's one of the draft's younger players. A native of Belarus, Radkov is a 2026-27 commit to the University of Massachusetts.
