IMO bit of a weird comment. As a Habs fan, I rather have the consensus. There's a couple of lists (Pronman is the other I know, are there more?) with him 2nd.
Last time Pronman went against consensus - Laine over Matthews when Leafs picked 1st.
Wonder when is the last time HockeyProspect went against consensus/rest of the pack?
Like with all the hate Wright gets, why would it be better to pick a giant prospect who did well in small samples but not really in the pro league he's playing in. Staf is 6'4'' 229lbs, how much room does he really have to improve physically if we're going to question Wright for preforming against juniors? I don't get what the obsession is to try to make it seem like Wright shouldn't go 1st/Habs fans shouldn't want him.
Its more so the narrative that hab fans are generating that it is asinine to think someone other than Wright should go first overall, and if you do think someone else should it is just purely for clicks and ratings.
Like no, the world isnt out to get you lol. Theyve been peddling this narrative since they won the lottery, and the closer it gets to the draft, Wright continues to fall out of favour with a lot of the scouting world.
I brought up my concerns about Wright back in November but apparently now I only think this way because the Habs won the lottery.
I predict when we see McKenzie's rankings, probably only 5/10 scouts will have Wright at 1.
