Some believe that Shane Wright is the ultimate choice, while others believe that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton should consider other options, such as drafting Logan Cooley or simply trading the pick.
Notably, there is Michel Bergeron (TVA Sports) who made a suggestion and the reactions are numerous,
Bergy suggests trading the first overall pick for a more established player. Here he is targeting Quebecer Pierre-Luc Dubois of the Winnipeg Jets.
Other elements could be involved, but the basis would really be:
In Montreal: Pierre-Luc Dubois
In Winnipeg: First overall pick in 2022
Do you like this proposal from the TVA Sports analyst? He also suggests to possibly involve an undesirable contract, such as Brendan Gallagher's.
Dubois, a 23-year-old native of Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, would indeed be available in Winnipeg. He has 60 points (28 goals) in 81 games this season.
Personally, I would keep the first overall pick and draft Shane Wright, but the debate is still interesting.
