Shane Wright vs the 2023 draft class

[GelFlow]

Hi,

With most of the 2022 draft class missing a year of hockey last year, I'm having a hard time projecting NHL production for most of these guys.

If you would have to draft Shane Wright in the 2023 draft class, where would you rank him ?

Of course we would all rank Bedard, Michkov and Fantilli ahead of him, but would you rank anyone else from the 2023 draft class ahead of him for a keepers points league (goals & assists worth 1 point each).

Cheers,

Im not sure I'd rank Fantilli ahead of Shane Wright but that's just a personal choice.

I'd say 3-5 spot is fair.

Ahead of Fantilli at 3 but the potential to drop to 4 for the time being.

Wright is also at 4 for me if you combine him into the 2023 class.

if im drafting both draft classes at once in next 2-3 months im drafting Bedard then Wright. Mitchkov is great talent but he is inked for 4 more years i think and who knows what will happen with russian players down the road. year ago now, Wright was viewed as slightly below Mcdavid and above Matthew for possible impact. It was tough 2 years for everybody, i still see lots of god things in his game.
