C Shane Wright - Kingston Frontenacs, OHL (2022, 4th, SEA) Part 3

[Jeune Poulet]

I don’t buy that he has bad attitude. It’s fine to be confident, Laine said he was better than Matthews back in 2016.

To prove he doesn't have attitude issues you compare his behavior to... Laine's?

 

[The Marquis]

Well, the guy got his ELC today, and played a heavily defensive style in Dev Camp 10 min 3 on 3 Scrimmages today and looked pretty good defensively and had a hell of a 100 foot pass tape to tape to get a goal for his team in the final. The future is bright for this kid if he puts in the work as the talent and IQ is clearly there.

Wright getting drafted by Seattle was the plan all along. That's why he played uninspired his whole draft year and did poorly in draft interviews. High IQ on the ice and off the ice.

Since when is 48 points in 53 games dominating?


That’s Nick Suzuki

You realize Barkov did that as a 17 year old in his draft year, right? How, for someone his age, was it not dominating?

So all that stuff about wanting to be a Canadien was a bunch of BS?

He reacted just like us Habs fans did after the draft!!! We never wanted him!

In Liiga as a player who was 17 years old the whole season, during lockout year when the level of play was significantly stronger than usual?
Even Liiga's scoring winner had less than a point per game and Barkov was in top 10 for scoring.

Somehow, I think that this goes beyond normal hockey jargon. It almost feels ironic.

Imo from some point it is good, that Wright isnt a Nr 1 pick. Now there will be much discussion about Slafkovsky and Wright career. Interesting games between Canadiens and Seattle. It simply generated attention, that is needed for every show.

Anyone else think he may have ADHD or something similar? The mannerisms and speech patterns are all in line. Something is a bit off with him from everything I’ve seen

I’ve had concerns with him for a while now and voiced them on the Rangers board. Now that everyone’s seen his personality and how he acts they’ve started to agree that something is a bit off with Wright

I’m just saying signs of ADHD or something similar are very clearly there

While I disagree with making this kind of armchair diagnosis, in hockey like many other fast sports having ADHD is actually more of a good thing and many all-time greats have had it.

 

[Sweetpotato]

I'd just like to point out that people continuously bringing up Strome's point totals ignores the fact he scored those points on a team with Connor McDavid where 50 of Strome's points came on the PP. I believe there was a stat that Strome was either slightly under or just slightly above a point per game in the games McDavid missed that year.

Let's not pretend that Strome's totals were a result entirely of his own performance. That's why there were concerns even leading up to the draft about how much of a "product" he was of playing with McDavid and how truly elite he projected to be.

I can't remember which world Juniors it was but man oh man was that the first time he got exposed.

I don’t disagree - Wright is a little bit weird

I've watched it all and it's also fully consistent with being nervous. No need to diagnose the kid.

 

[Rengorlex]

He's a 18-year-old kid. Assessing his personality as "off" and attributing him with mental health disorders based on some short videos is what's really off.

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

Wright will never be Barkov. It's obvious.

Wright will be a good NHLer but NJ didn't need a good nhler center. They already have them.

You do know, you can draft a centre and play him on the wing? Especially with Hischer and Hughes being injured all the time. You'd probably want a centre like Wright for depth. Their is no such thing as to.much centre depth.

After reading some of your posts lately, I've had the same concerns about you.

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

Hindsight and development is a beautiful thing. Now let’s give Wright a chance before labeling him nothing more than a 2C.

The only reason people are labelling a number 2, is because the Kraken also have Beniers. This seems more like a 1A/1B scenario like Crosby/Malkin.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve read in a while.

Signs of ADHD?

Please enlighten us on what these “signs of ADHD” are.

I’ll save you the time, there are none. It’s impossible to diagnose ADHD by watching someone communicate.

Thanks for reminding me that 90% of people on forums talk completely out of their a$$.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Agreed he seemed nervous and you could feel his answered were all prepared so the delivery was a bit robotic. Wright Beniers may be one of the great 2way center duo for the next 15 years.

 

[Chiarelli]

Umm probably closer to two Jordan Staal’s than the best 1-2 center duo in the last 30 years.

Signs of ADHD lol?

What are those?
