Ask any true hockey fan who will go No. 1 in this year’s draft and 99% of them will mention Shane Wright. As they should. Wright has been the consensus No. 1 overall pick for around two years now, and it’s hard to imagine the Canadiens going in any other direction once it’s time for them to make their selection.
But then there’s the other 1% of hockey fans who believe a different prospect should go No. 1 overall. And many of those fans probably believe it should be Slovak sensation Juraj Slafkovský having his name called first.
