If Molson is directly influencing draft picks the habs are doomed whoever they take. It would take a really, really good reason to take someone other than Wright but if they found that reason they should go with it. The best player from this draft likely isn't ranked top 5 now, if they have some way to find that pick, go for it.
If they are really offering 26 and 33 for a pick in the teens I'm surprised no one has jumped, but maybe teams are waiting to see how the first 10 picks or so go before making moves in the teens. There are so many polarizing picks that some guys are going to drop.
I expect the habs will take Wright.
That's actually false. I just did a little sample and since 2004, the top player(s) in the draft almost always came from the top 3-5 with a few exceptions like 2013 with Vasy and Forsberg (who was projected at 3OA), 2011 with Kucherov (although the rest of the top players were very high picks), and 2008 (Karlsson and Josi) although you still had Stamkos and doughty. So actually chances are the best player coming out of this draft is likely going to be coming out of the top 5.
All years where top player came out of top 5: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, not including any 2020s draft as too early.
