Habs fans - I WARNED YOU

 

[Holls Blackmail]

Bust

 

[SensFactor]

Omg what?!??!??! Wright was the pick man! Habs fans are going to lose their shit

 

[Frank Drebin]

huh. there you go

 

[Peasy]

Oh man. There are so many hab fans that gotta eat crow. 75% of that fanbase has been in denial since they won the lottery.

 

[Dominance]

Montreal blew it. Absolutely unbelievable.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Oh man. There are so many hab fans that gotta eat crow.

They’ll enjoy the selection in due time - but this year wasn’t the draft to tunnel vision on one player

 

[Pi]

Shane Wright is no longer better than Matthews. Juraj is.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

good call by the Habs

 

[KrakenFan92]

Good pick. Slaf is a wild card unicorn type player, Wright will be average.

 

[I am Canadian]

They didn't believe much in Wright I see

 

[CapSpace]

I don't even know how I'm feeling lol

 

[koyvoo]

I have a feeling his stock is going to plummet on HF, and many who said the Habs would be foolish to pass him up, will start saying the Habs were foolish to take him over Wright. For some of those people, I except that to happen immediately.

 

[thadd]

SPICY! I like this move by montreal!
I love surprises on draft day.
Hope this one works out in the Habs' favor!

 

[Aceboogie]

Right move IMO. Wright hasa low ceiling, you have to go for the higher ceiling, even if Slaf has a higher bust potential

 

[seafoam]

I like this pick, I think Wright developed quicker than his peers but that doesn't make his upside the highest. He development seems to have tapered off while Slafkovsky is just scratching the surface on how good he can be.

[Jee]

My. God. LMAO

Congratulations to Slovakians and their hockey program. Love this. The resurgence of Slovakian hockey is amazing. Keep it going!

 

[WhatWhat]

No hate on the pick, but congrats devils on a 1/2 punch of Nico Jack and Wright. Nico Jack is elite and Wright will be the responsible 2C with good production.

Edit: I am stupid

Hughes?

 

[kp61c]

Not trivial. Always good to see.

This guy is going to be under the biggest microscope of any prospect I can think of in the last 20 years. Hope he's ready for it.
