A player’s agent confirms the Canadiens won't draft Shane Wright

According to Jean Perron on 98.1 in Quebec City, a contact told him that the agent of young prospect Simon Nemec had confirmed that the Habs would draft Juraj Slafkovsky in the next draft and not Shane Wright.

Note that Nemec's agent is a Slovak, just like Slafkovsky.

Obviously, this should be taken with a grain of salt, as we have heard everything and its opposite in this case.

To be continued at the draft...
