Slaf is not better than Wright, go look at his stats in the WC he had 0 points against the tougher competition Germany, Canada and Finland. All his points came against non traditional hockey countries. I say if the Devils want to waste a top 2 pick on him they can take him, the Habs should go with Wright or Cooley.
"Juraj Slafkovsky has 9 points in 8 games at the World Championship. Impressive? Here's the breakdown:
2A vs FRA
0 vs GER
0 vs CAN
1B vs SUI
1B+1A vs KAZ
2A vs ITA
1B+1A vs DEN
0 vs FIN
9 points vs FRA/SUI/KAZ/ITA/DEN
0 points vs GER/CAN/FIN
This guy reminds me of Benoit Pouliot, someone we should absolutely stay away from and stick to the better players.
