In all this Bedard Michkov hype...Wright was actually the best player in the u18 tournament.
Yeah, he would have received the MVP and won a scoring title if he had played all games.In all this Bedard Michkov hype...Wright was actually the best player in the u18 tournament.
For sure. The goal record is for all ages, not just underagers. He should have won MVP -- with his offence and two-way play? A major blunder that he was left off post-tournament honour roll.Just set the Canadian record for goals with 9 as an underaged played at the u18 and captained the team to gold - missed 2 games and still tied for the team lead in pts.
Have to think he leads the tournament in pts if he plays every game.
Craig Button said as much tonight. "Front and centre at WJC."Wouldn't surprise me if he's Canada's #1 Center at the WJHC.
Damn Wright.In all this Bedard Michkov hype...Wright was actually the best player in the u18 tournament.
And didn't miss two games of the tournament. His PPG was higher than Michkov's and he played a better two-way game and in all situations.Prior to the u-18 wjc, his last real game was from March 8th 2020 (Sudbury Wolves)*, exactly 435 days ago
imagine how many goals and points he would of scored, if he had played in the OHL this season.
*game that they lost 8 to nothing

Canadians are hoping for more than that.Wright... I feel fairly confident that he’ll hit the ground running in the NHL.
True.Looks like my boy didn't miss a beat even after all that time off without playing a single meaningful game due to the COVID OHL stoppage.
Toews. Gamer who wills his team to win and has an excellent all around skillset. Perhaps more offensive upsideHard to think of a comparable for Wright. I think he has the potential to score more points than Bergeron, yet will likely be a better goal scorer than Zetterberg. A name that comes to mind is Sergei Fedorov. Hope he stays on track
