The young player who has long been considered for the first pick in the 2022 draft is still in the news. The 18 year old from Ontario had to watch Juraj Slafkovsky, Simon Nemec and Logan Cooley get drafted before him.

Everyone remembers the fiery look he gave to the Montreal Canadiens organization. Many wondered if it wasn't his character that caused him to be drafted fourth overall.

Now he's doing it again and showing us his character, as Matthias Brunet of La Presse said in his latest column on BPM Sports with Martin Lemay.

"Shane Wright scored a beautiful goal in an intrasquad game with 10 seconds left, the winning goal. A typical shot, a good shot! And he (Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol) said, 'You remembered the goal and I remembered a lot of other things.' With that, I thought, ''I'll bring it back,'' that's good. I'm an open-minded person. Just because people like (Juraj) Slafkovsky doesn't mean Wright isn't good or the other way around. They said they were going to give him every chance to start in the National League. But I was watching a podcast with the best guy from Seattle and it seems that a few times on the ice during practice, he threw fits at the AHL coaches. It worried him. At one point, Dan Bylsma gave an instruction and he looked at him and wanted to say, ''What is this!?'' It's a little bit of a worry! I'm giving you both sides of the story!" - Mathias Brunet

Were the Canadiens right not to draft him?
