The Canadiens' first pick would have a magnificent NHL career. In 1233 games, the Slovakian would collect 1183 points, including 421 goals. Slafkovsky would also win three Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe Trophy.

Wright would have a better individual career than Slafkovsky, but the Canadiens player would triumph collectively with his three Stanley Cups.
It's still just simulations, but it's always interesting to see what comes of it.
