Upside is key KH said.
Who go more upside between the 3?

Logan Cooley.

Also, at my sportsbook Slaf and Wright are basically even with the same odds. This was not the case until about a hour or two ago...

 

[Nedved]

I don't know anything about betting. Why is it not looking good?

I thought the same thing. I was like, I'm kind of glad I don't know how this works, and put 100 000 on black! let's go!!!

 

[Clearedwaivers]

I'm so high on MSL that I think it might be overboard. I genuinely think he would improve any attacking player, FWD or DMan.

I hope we get to see it.

 

[Colezuki]

What did he say specifically? Context?

Details I need details

I suppose Slaf or Cooley seem to have more explosive skills but that also comes with equal odds of them failing, busting, or disappointing. So maybe Hughes means 'upside' as 'reliably attainable potential', in which case it's likelier that Wright fits the bill.

 

[FrankMTL]

All this about not knowing who they're picking is all head games. Kent Hughes is a sharp guy, he knows what to say.

 

[Price is Wright]

You forgot Marc Bergevin

1996-97

Any other Wright fans out there who feel MSL could be exactly the tonic needed, to bring back a version of Wright that is more like he was pre-pandemic?

For the first time in almost 30 years, we don't have to worry our coach is going to turn our offensive gifted prospect into a pylon.

That would be referencing floor. He didn't say floor. He said 'upside'.

Higher potential least likely to be reached, or lower potential that's more likely to be reached is the question here.

 

[ReHabs]

Anyone here who can PM a link to watch the draft? Gotta see what the future holds. Thanks!

Sportsnet has a sort of livestream going up in half an hour. Not sure if it's a "watch Steve Dangle watch the draft" sort of livestream or an actual one.

 

[zx81]

I would be happy with either Wright or Cooley.
A liitle more than 40 minutes to wait.

 

[NobleSix]

That don't look good though.....




But Wright seems confident in his interview about being drafted #1

Suspense

Those betting odds don't really mean too much in terms of who the Habs are going to pick. It's all about money and what percentage of that money is tied up in which potential outcome.

The media is just itching to blame Habs fans for what's going to happen even though the blame, if the unfortunate happens, must be equally shared by the Habs organization.

I just forked my 14$ for Sportsnet Now, they have the draft on

 

[dinodebino]

The sport betting thing is just reducing the odds so people waste more money going for the underdog pick

How’s your wrist? Rested?

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Canadienna]

Big betting odds swing towards Slafkovsky

Or Slaf is bpa

 

[Karma Police]

we won't have the 7th overall. So I haven't done shit yet

 

[Clearedwaivers]

Yep. I think the younger players will be given the opportunity to play and make mistakes, without getting a death stare and subsequent benching every time.

Don't convince me, convince the fans in the Bell Centre
