Shane Wright Had The Worst NHL Preseason Than Any Other Forward
Shane Wright was expected to be the first overall pick in this past NHL Draft. Wright ended up slipping to the 4th overall pick (Seattle Kraken), as the teams prior to that pick didn't believe he fit their system.
Following the drop in the draft, Wright's preseason performance was highly anticipated by fans across the league, but the youngster did not live up to expectations.
After 5 games, Wright finished with just one measly assist, but that was not the biggest concern. 0 shots were recorded by Wright in 5 total games.
Wright also went 13 for 47 on faceoffs, which comes out to a terrible 28% win percentage.
Former NHL scout, Grant McCagg, believes that Shane Wright will have a bery short leash for a 9-game trial in the regular season.
The Kraken are really hoping that their 18-year old center takes a big leap forward heading into the regular season.
If all goes wrong, the Kraken can afford to send him down for development, as they are not in the position to contend just yet.
