Shane Wright

21-Year-Old CenterC
Seattle Kraken
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Through his first two seasons, Wright was limited to just 16 games with the Kraken in which he garnered five goals on 16 shots, two assists and 12 blocks. With the offseason addition of Chandler Stephenson, the 20-year-old Wright could struggle to break into the top six, which will limit his chances of providing offensive upside. The offensive upside is there for the Ontario native, he racked up 22 goals and 25 assists in 59 regular-season games with AHL Coachella Valley last year, but his opportunities to show may continue to be limited due to the logjam down the middle. Still, Wright figures to be a high-risk, high-reward option heading into the 2024-25 campaign. If he can force his way into more minutes, he could produce at a high level. Read Past Outlooks

Nets goal Sunday
CSeattle Kraken
March 10, 2025
Wright tallied a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Wright's goal opened the scoring in Sunday's contest midway through the first period. Overall, the 21-year-old center has 15 goals, 38 points and 66 shots on net in 62 appearances this season. The fourth overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is having a solid showing in his first full season in the league. While he has cooled off from his 12-point run across 10 games from earlier this season, he has two goals in his last four games and is continuing to make an impact in his third-line role. Wright has solid value in deeper leagues down the stretch in fantasy.

Top 200 NHL Prospects: Mid-Season Review

RotoWire's Jon Letterine identifies rising and falling players in a mid-season update of his top-200 ranking of NHL prospects.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
There's no telling where Wright might begin 2023-24, or if he'll stay there all year. His age (19) means he'd likely be going back to OHL Windsor if he doesn't break camp with the Kraken, but he could get an exception to join AHL Coachella Valley if the Kraken want to pursue that path in his development. The center had two points in eight NHL games, 15 points in 32 AHL outings and 40 points over 24 contests in the junior ranks last year. Wright still has some wrinkles in his game to work out, so he'd likely benefit from another year outside of the NHL to become a more complete player, but there's no questioning his scoring talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Non-starter in trade talks
CSeattle Kraken
June 5, 2024
Wright's name has been brought up in trade conversations, but Kraken general manager Ron Francis has no interest in trading the center, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright is apparently very much part of the Kraken's future plans, even as their need for a couple of scoring forwards is glaringly obvious. The Kraken have been linked to a few forwards via trade or free agency already, but any potential trade package likely won't include Wright. The 20-year-old center put up 47 points in 59 regular-season contests for AHL Coachella Valley and added five points in eight games with Seattle.
