A Shane Wright Trade Could Be Coming in the Midst of Issues in Seattle
Shane Wright's time in Seattle has had a rough start. He has been scratched more often than not, and when he is dressed, he averages only 6:51 of ice time.
This has sparked insiders to consider the option of Wright going back down to the OHL for the 2022-23 campaign.
Per Elliotte Friedman, if Wright were to go back down to the OHL, he would be subject to a trade.
His Kingston Frontenac's have put in a request to host the 2024 Memorial Cup, and would hope to stock up on younger OHL pieces to be more competitive at that point.
Here is the quote from Friedman's podcast 32 Thoughts
There is a path for the Kraken and the OHL to be proactive about this. Get Wright moved to a team that wants to win this season, somewhere he will play big minutes in big games. The Ontario league wins, too. Wright would be a big draw. Marek would drag his family around like the Clampetts in a massive station wagon. (One hitch: No player selected in the first round last season can be traded until Jan. 1. My suggestion would be, if the player agrees to it, make the deal.) Get Wright on the ice and reap the rewards. Now, and for many years to come in the Pacific Northwest.
With his NHL ice-time being unfavourable, this could very well be the best move for Wright.
We will see which team trades for the OHL superstar!
