Getting Hotlz+Wright out of a Tkachuk trade would be pretty wonderful.

Agreed. This draft has a 2012 feel though and looking at that horrible top 4 Yakupov, Murray, Galchenyuk, Reinhart where all pretty much busted by their mid 20’s. 2nd overall doesn’t have the same cache as a typical year. If the Habs pass on Wright I would be more inclined for the Flames to take that package. I am more intrigued by Cooley than Slafovsky but he is more boom/bust but Wright feels like a safe pick but might only be a Nuge level player who is no Tkachuk
