Damn damn damn. I wanted Wright in Montreal but I am starting to see why he fell. Just something is off with him.

Maybe, he liked a post on insta pointing out the staredown.

Copy paste but this kid needs to get his priorities straight or he has issues, the biggest night of your life so far and you're too busy staring down the habs table lolll
There's a better angle out there but I can't find anymore, someone post it if you have it.
Arizona deserved the staredown more, they drafted another center projected lower than him, that's even more disrespectful than what the habs did
In all the interviews I've seen him in he seemed pretty cocky and arrogant and self-entitled to go 1st overall, all the other franchise players in history were pretty modest, and he had a lot of bravado when interviewed , this might of shied a few teams away

Aside from the zero similarities, sure. What’s with your sudden cope show?

Laine and Eichel (although, I believe Eichel only said it in private interviews) said the same thing. Neither have really lived up to it though.
Could you imagine going through some shit like that? Pretty much since bantam being seen as ''the next one'' and then having 3 teams be all like ''nah get f***ed m8.'' It sounds silly to get rattled over going 4th overall, but to Shane, this is his first taste of failure. Very interesting to see how he responds.
Love his confidence. Huge moment for the Kraken. I had him #2 on my list behind Nemec. Montreal missed here.

Signed Montreal jersey with Wrights name will have his value.
Reminds me of the 2013 draft when Seth Jones fell to #4. I would argue that he's at least a good player in the NHL, and there is no doubt in my mind that so will Wright be.
People talk about this a lot but BPA is rarely ever as defined as they think it is. You're comparing guys who played in the OHL, QMJHL, WHL, NCAA, USHL, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia now, Germany, Switzerland etc. Cale Makar if you'll remember was drafted out of the AJHL. That's a league that's been around since 1963 and has produced 200 NHL players, in it's 59 year history. The WHL by comparison had 130 guys playing in the league just last year alone.
It is reallly difficult to determine who the actual BPA is in a given draft slot since they're all being judge in wildly different leagues. This is why I never got too deep into the prospects game, it's way too hard to judge.
In most years, the BPA is really only defined in the Top 3, sometimes just the Top 2 draft slots and there's a few drafts where there really isn't a defined BPA. It seems like this was such a draft.
Point of all this is to say, relax with the hot takes.

Wright is an absolute stub. You are extremely lucky Kraken fans. This will truely test this kids mental strength going through this. Hopefully he comes out ontop which I’m sure he will.

What's that guy going to do with a signed Wright Canadiens jersey?
Maybe keep it in the closet for a decade, you never know.
I think the fact that two other teams passed on him has opened a few eyes to the possibility that he was not a can't miss prospect

The only team that really passed on him was Arizona (they took another center).
Mtl chose the winger because of the Dach's acquisition and NJ didn't need a center at all and went with the most nhl ready d-man.
That's not a knock against Wright.

Looking back on that draft Jones should have been picked at 3 so really not that far off.
Let's hope this year plays out similarly
No, New Jersey passed on him as well.
You think of it was Alex barkov available at 2 new jersey passes because they have hischier? Come on.
