Wright showed his true colors when he glared at the Habs' table on the draft floor on his way up to the podium. I'm sure he and his agent (and the Habs) explained it away as being something else, but that's what it was.

Basically things being close to equal top 4, this is clearly what did him in.

He's got a really punchable face, too.

That obviously won't guarantee team success or anything, and there are obvious outliers like Kaprizov and Geekie as well. Still, would be nice to go to the top 3 well for a change and draft a game changer.

I would wager that the ones that are drafted outside the top 3 picks are the ones that will fall off.
