Montreal Canadiens: What Makes Shane Wright Special?

Shane Wright is a near-consensus pick at #1 and will likely become a member of the Canadiens, but what makes him such a special player, and how does he make up for a lack of dynamic game-breaking ability?

When the Montreal Canadiens won the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery, the hockey world as a whole came to the conclusion that Shane Wright was virtually already a Hab; Radio-Canada even interviewed him about how excited he was when the Canadiens won the first overall pick.

While Kent Hughes was not so naive as to show his entire hand, he did state that unless the team is blown away with an offer, the Habs will indeed draft at 1. In all likelihood, the assumption that Shane Wright will become a Hab will prove to be the right one on July 7th, which will certainly be celebrated with a roar of cheers in a packed Bell Centre.
