C Shane Wright (2022, 4th, SEA) Part 4

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Neither would be easy since he had opposing players on both sides. There is a good chance he turns it over on both.

Yeah but at least then it's turned over along the boards. If he's not able to advance it along either the right wall or behind the net, he should probably just eat the puck and let his teammates help fish it out.

Wright went from overrated to underrated

 

[Ryan Van Horne]

FWIW: I believe Wright will be traded to the Ottawa 67’s following the conclusion of Team Canada’s run at the world juniors

I think he will be traded, too. I've heard whispers of Peterborough. Just a hunch it's Ottawa?

If have gotten hints of that Marrelli is on his way out and that Ottawa is getting Wright - that being said, he can’t be moved until after he gets eliminated in the WJC - if Peterborough Offers up Van Volsen between now and then no one can beat that, unless Ottawa offers up Mews

Canada put on a pathetic performance. One of the worst in history of Canada games. Not shocking considering who their captian is. Nice he was able to look decent on the stat side for himself.

Let's just hope other leaders and the collective group can come together and take home gold despite of Shane.

LOL! Can you elaborate on how Shane Wright's leadership affected the group or are you just another sour Habs fan blowing smoke out your wazoo? Are you saying he should have stepped in between Zach Dean and the Czechia player to keep him from drawing a five-minute major? Or, better yet, maybe he should have strapped on the pads and shown Ben Gaudreau how to stop a puck.

Give your head a shake.

What a weird thing to trash Wright for, especially given he had a two point night and wasn't responsible for any of the egregiously bad defensive coverage breakdowns that lead to goals against.

Or is the belief that captains tell the players when to play bad defensively or the goalies to not make saves?

 

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

Want to root for this kid given what he has gone through the last year. But a very average game to start this tourney.

Wouldn’t be shocked since James Boyd is in charge of selecting team Canada here. They’re also the top team in the league

Personally, I can’t see Ottawa trading Mews, he’s going to be a stud next year, potential PPG as a D and possible first rounder as well. I also can’t see Ptbo trading JVV. Marrelli makes sense

 

[Ryan Van Horne]

Another angle.

What exactly does this guy do other than watch his linemates work

He hit a crossbar.

 

[le_sean]

He hit a crossbar.

Good for him. Crossbars per 60 went up with that

 

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

The lack of posts here during WJC says everything. Overshadowed and playing very average. A few elite plays but not the norm shift to shift. Hopefully he turns up his compete level.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

I don't think Wright is doing much less than he can when it comes to playing his game. Doing good stuff defensively and moving the puck efficiently for the most part.

There has to come a time where we can take a step back and admit, he's not THAT guy. Perhaps a high-end complimentary centre one day, perhaps a captain and a part of a championship core, but we can't keep hanging on to the early hype forever.

He does need to produce 5-on-5 soon though. That I'll agree with.

Hopefully the addition of Wright will help the 67s in their quest for a playoff spot eh.

 

[waitin425]

Given his draft pedigree he should be in and around Cooley point totals. Sadly, he isn't. Wright was wrong all along.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

He is so underwhelming it's unbelievable. I have rarely seen him accomplish anything on the ice during the WJC so far. I realize Bedard has completely stolen the show for Canada but I am still liking some other players that are currently on the team.. Wright isn't even close to one of the ones I've liked.

 

[Peasy]

But theres nothing he could learn playin in the CHL

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I thought he was really really good against Sweden NYE. Exact game you want from him. He didn't really roll that over into last night. He can't get worked on faceoffs like he did last night again. Whole line took a step back after a really positive game against Sweden.

 

[rsteen]

Seattle has to send him back to the OHL once the tournament finishes, right? He's obviously not beyond the junior level.

 

[Lavar Ball]

I don't think he has been as bad as some have made it out but he certainly has been disappointing considering the hype/draft position

 

[ForsbergForever]

He's no Logan Stankovan...

Oilers did it with Draisatl not sure why they can't with him. 3rd OA vs 4th OA. Both got NHL experience to learn from and he should go back and dominate, work on his confidence, and apply what he learned and come to training camp next year more focused.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Who could have possibly seen this coming??
