Shane Wright comments on Bob McKenzie's list that puts him at 2 in the upcoming draft
TSN's Bob McKenzie ranked Slovakian Juraj Slafkovsky 1st, just ahead of Shane Wright and Logan Cooley.
On the sidelines of the Canadian Hockey League gala where he won the top professional prospect award, Wright answered questions from reporters.
He said that all the rumours surrounding the draft can be ignored.
« It's definitely not something you can ignore easily. Now that the season is over, my attention is on the draft. However, it's all noise and I don't have any control over what people say or the different rankings. I'm focused on being as ready as possible for the draft. It obviously comes with pressure, but I want to enjoy the moment as much as possible. »
Wright commented more specifically on Bob McKenzie's list, which places him at #2 in the upcoming draft.
« I don't put much stock in the various lists. At the end of the day, they're just rankings and that doesn't mean they'll be representative of the draft order. We won't know that until July 7, so I don't care much about it. I know these are smart people who put a lot of effort into these rankings, but they don't matter to me. »
It's pretty clear!
