The Seattle Kraken's controversial plan with Shane Wright may be revealed? A big decision will be made by the end of the year
The use of young forward Shane Wright by the Seattle Kraken continues to be a topic of discussion in the National Hockey League.
Remember that we are talking about a young fourth overall pick with great potential, but who recently missed a full season of hockey due to the pandemic.
Now that he's been drafted into the NHL, he's still not playing any games (or almost). However, the experts seem to agree: he needs to play hockey, he really needs to!
Wright, 18, has played in only five games this season, and he has played (on average) 6 minutes 51 seconds per game, in those games. Almost ridiculous usage.
So what is the Kraken's plan? Former scout Grant McCagg believes he has the answer:
That does indeed seem to be the plan, but it's definitely not a unanimous and controversial one to say the least.
Waiting until the World Junior Championship before playing him means another half year before allowing him to play games on a regular basis? It's ridiculous and it seems really bad for his development, but well, to be continued... It looks like they know what they are doing...
