NHL:
If Montreal acquires a first-round pick but misses on Wright, what are alternate plans to maximize fantasy upside?
Qwiket AI:
Alternate targets would include a high-end 2C or a versatile winger who can anchor a line and contribute across zones. The fantasy payoff would rely on securing a player with top-six minutes and a path to PP1, even if Wright isn’t the target. Montreal could pivot to a proven depth center who brings consistent 40-60 point output with room for growth, preserving Xhekaj’s trade value for other strategic acquisitions.
