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

Wright has a good deal more defensive acumen to his game. Even back to his 16 year old season he was drawing more bergeron comparisons than pure offense.
I think Montreal will go with him, and I wouldn't take the offered package unless he was available at 2. IMO he's suffering from that 1st overall too much focus for too long syndrome.
