Shane Wright’s Kraken Struggle | Seattle Kraken News

Shane Wright’s future with the Kraken is up for grabs as his agent confirms talks are underway to trade the young center to a team in need of youth. The journey to this point has been rocky — drafted fourth in 2022 after being projected first, Wright spent a year back in junior, was a healthy scratch in the NHL, then bounced between the AHL and NHL without consistent coaching or linemates. His best stats came under Dan Bylsma, but since his departure, production dipped — and now, with another coaching change, the cycle repeats. Players like Chandler Stephenson, who get more ice time despite lower scoring, further limit Wright’s opportunities. The takeaway? Young players need stability — in coaching, chemistry, and playing time — to thrive, and Wright’s situation underscores how crucial that environment is for development.
