Shane Wright

[Sal_Butera]

Wright is nowhere near as sexy a pick as a Bedard or McDavid etc. What he is though is the safest pick for a very good /elite player and the Habs can't afford to fuck around. Teams like Colorado and Tampa can.

If all goes well, a Plekanec…. eventually

Definitely a solid 10-year NHL player

he has fallen from the mcdavid hype
but i hope he is more towards the tavaeras, stamkos level than the nugent hopkins level

More of the agenda. Nice.

Snake said he applied “through the media” for a gig w Habs - “he wants a consulting role like Vinny not a day in day out go to the rink job” (his exact words not mine), pretty demanding for someone who’s never officially worked in the NHL in any capacity if you ask me

I don't recall him ever saying that.

I have heard him say, however, that he wants to be a head scout where he's the one making the decisions.

The better question for Shane Wright would be, is he closer to Patrice Bergeron or Nico Hischier?

The Snake also said he wouldn’t take Matthews 1OA his draft year… ooops

Who is the snake

I've never heard Wright's playing style compared to Nico's but Nico is a good player . . . when he's not out with an injury.

 

[Krustchev]

Just wondering, aside from Sal, would anyone here trade the pick for Lafraniere straight up?

It's not a style comparison.

Would Shane Wright end up as one of the top two way centers in the league along Bergeron, Kopitar, Barkov, Crosby, or is he going to end up like Hischier, who is a pretty good player, but an underwhelming choice for the first overall pick.

I don't think I would, but I don't think it's a crazy thought.

*If I'm sure there aren't off the ice issues.

I would go with the centre

Depends on his development.

centre for a winger, no

 

[Krustchev]

Maybe Sal is actually Emile Castonguay?

Fuck me Marinaro's a pain to listen to.

Dude you're the reason I can still get up in the morning with my Politics track record. Let's leave it at that.

No. I take Wright still.

HABS NEED ELITE CENTERS

Ok very good at minimum.
