The Seattle Kraken has just announced that they sent Shane Wright to the AHL:
"He's not playing anymore, so he's being sent to the American league. Shane Wright will also likely play for Team Canada at the World Junior Championship." - Renaud Lavoie
Considering Wright was scratched from the lineup for five straight games, he became officially eligible for a two-week conditioning stint in the AHL with Coachella Valley Firebirds.
The Kraken decided to take advantage of this exception.
So we expect Wright to play in the AHL for two weeks before heading to the World Junior Hockey Championship in December.
