According to Insider Montreal Canadiens have chosen their 1 pick and it's NOT Shane Wright

While coming into this season, the undisputed first overall pick from Kingston Frontenacs center Shane Wright, but over the last few months, two other players have made a large jump in the draft rankings. Those two players are, Logan Cooley who has a previously relationship with Kent Hughes, and Slovakian sniper Juraj Slavkovsky.
Slavkovsky is rumoured to be the most NHL ready of all the players in the draft and he has stated multiple times that he would be the perfect partner for Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
