Shane Wright

Trade our first overall for some teams next 5 second rounders

Big drop in quality after 1987 and big drop in frequency after 1998 though.

We would likely do really well with that.

Robinson in the 2nd is madness.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah, we also draft the likes of Fucale and de la Rose in the 2nd. But apart from Lekhonen, 2013 was a brutal draft by the Habs. Signature stuff by Timmins.

Point projection for Shane Wright at 22, 23, 24 years old? Is he a 70-point/30-goal player or more of a 60-point or 80-point guy? Where do you see him ending up in his prime point wise? — Tyler N.

Giving specific point projections is usually asking for trouble, but what the heck. I think 30 goals/70 points who plays 18-20 minutes a game is in the cards for sure and I would argue is what I would say is his expected prime projection. This is where I got hung up on Wright vs. Slafkovsky. I see Slafkovsky as a potential 35-40 goal 70-80 point wing. I see Wright as a potential 60-70 point center. Which is more valuable? I’m sure you will all let me know in the comments.

I take a 30g/70pts 2-way center over a 35g/80pts scoring winger, but there is something highly compelling about a 6'4 skilled power forward.

Which one has the highest flop risk? Wright, Slafkovsky or Cooley? I feel Slafkovsky has the biggest risk of flopping.

Good point

That article has many players as boom or bust if you have a high ceiling but you arent ranked that high

I have the feeling too. Wright feels like the safest guy. Not that I'd be happy if he was just a 2nd line center... but it feels like he at worst going to be that.

Take the Slovak. But I won't be disappointed with Wright.

Wright will never end up being the best player in this draft - if he’s lucky he’ll top out at Plekanec level, but he’s the right choice for the Habs @ 1OA

Come on now, way to lower the bar, and nothing against Plekanec but that would be a major disappointment.

 

[Habsy]

Wright is way better than these turds are saying. If he wasn't they all wouldn't be hedging their bets putting him 1OA while talking shit.

Nah. That was Sal trying to get the guts to go back to Slafkovsky

 

[Sal_Butera]

Based on what?

There’s zero indication of positive upward trend, if anything he’s stagnated, and is simply part of a a very weak draft cuvée
