I like Wright a lot
I like Slafkovsky about as much

Galchenyuk was ranked 4th in NA but 6th-7th OA and we chose him over Reilly like morons
Kotkanemi was ranked 3rd in Europe and 7th-8th OA and we chose him over Tkachuk/Hughes
Slafkovsky was ranked 1st in Europe and 2nd OA and chose him over a Franchise Center. . .

This would be like is TML chose Laine over Matthews
Sure both are good but could you imagine the Chaos

The rest of the draft is gonna suck
If he can mess up a pick this easy to make
What hope is there for the rest of the draft?
Clearly his strong suit isnt in drafting players just managing Contracts once they are.

If Slafkovsky doesnt win ROY and a Scoring Title no matter what he does it wont be enough.
Now Hughes went from doesnt make wrong moves to just as inexperienced and naive as MB


Truly though Molson as Owner is the clear issue here
Last draft in MTL he bought the team a week before
Made possible the single worst move in this millenium costing us a Stanley Cup
He chose Louis Leblanc for a French home crowd over Chris Kreider
Had he not then 2014 Price doesnt go down in the ECF and he was in God mode that year

I called the Isles trading the 13th pick to the Habs and not for Anderson but Romanov wtf

I've slowly started to hate our team a lot
Romanov's only offense was being a guy MB flew to Russia to scout since he was 15 and Federov pointed him that direction

ARI and Devils also passed on Wright, seems they saw something in him that was not good

MTL started a Freefall Early
It Happens EVERY SINGLE DRAFT BAR NONE

The picks go as projected for usually pick 1-7th OA more or less
MTL started that from spot 1 taking NJD pick a team who has a Core Center group that didnt need Wright or Cooley
Then ARZ RD they needed was gone and so on

Easyer for C to play wing than a W to play C, Wright could have played on the RW.
