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

[Dominance]

Incomprehensible that his ice-time hasn’t even ticked up over that period, and he continues to toil on PP2, all so that Beniers can continue being the least effective 1C in hockey.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Let's make some point predictions.

I think he'll get 43 points.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

His On-Ice SH% has gone down and he’s still putting up points. I think I’m interpreting them just fine.

You’re still looking at the wrong stat

 

[Ryan Van Horne]

He's passed the bust torch over to Slafkovsky

Are you TRYING to force a thread derailment?

Not to compare but since we had to listen to Habs fans for 2 seasons:

Wright: 12G, 19A, 31Pts +3 TOI-> 13:31 in 54 games of first full NHL season

Slafkovsky: 8G, 21A, 29Pts -9 TOI-> 16:53 in 52 games of 3rd NHL season

Maybe Wright isn’t such a “bust” anymore and maybe we should be doing an in depth analysis of Slafkovsky instead.

I think we learned a lesson on calling an 18 year old (he was 18 when he was started being called a bust) a bust...

literally. Same with Jack Hughes.

Is it a good idea to give first line and first into pp to young players who haven’t earned those minutes?

Wright is improving every game - he's going to be terrific. Not sure why so many people want him to bust.

Was a joke to call him a bust because he wasn't in the NHL as a teen.

The kid is not without his faults. He's been lazy but if Seattle can motivate him, the talent is there.

I don't know if that's true. But some people feel the need to beat up on him because their team didn't pick him, and they want to feel better about their pick. I can understand the sentiment even though I dont agree with it. I think you can root for your pick without needing to put others down.

I had heard a lot about his lack of effort, but I never really watched him in juniors. I can definitely say that it has not been an issue this season in Seattle.

 

[Seattle King]

Wright has found a higher level this season, it is obvious. His improvement is impressive and he looks like a 1C for Seattle when he is ready.

Good to hear. I would love to see him on Team Canada one day.
