Well I have my doubts on Slafkovsky and I wanted Wright but now, Slaf is a habs so I hope he proves me wrong and he gets to be the player we need him to be. We move on and hope for the best now. I'll be rooting for him.
Not sold on Dach myself. While I wanted Wright, I'm more OK with Slavkovsky than I am on wasting a 13th overall on Dach. While I understand the untapped potential and high ceiling, his chances of getting to that ceiling are very, very slim while the chances of him being a bust are very high...
makes me wonder, if meeting Molson is just a coincidence. Since they were schedule to meet Slaf two days ago but it was reschedule for today because of a flight delay, slaf just happen to be meeting Hugues and co. while the top brass had their breakfast or another draft day gathering.
I feel it just makes sense to draft Wright. Hugo keeps saying analytics is important and Slaf's analytics doesn't even put him in the first round. Slaf would be the weakest player ever selected 1oa if the Habs draft him.
Slaf biggest quality is his size (obviously he has other qualities but...
exactly, the cost to screw up 1OA is too big, I’d rather a safe bet than loosing the pick on a very low chance player of reaching their ceiling. Wright is not sexy but at worst, his floor is 2c possibly 3C. Slafkovsky’s floor is khl or Swiss league bound, no thanks. I see a lot of armia in him...
