Also should note per Seattle times, Ron Francis said, “he’s planning negotiations on a rule exception to enable Wright to play in the AHL if he fails to stick with the team following a maximum nine-game trial this fall”. 7/2/23
So they are aware, and it’s confirmed that Wright is only eligible for NHL/OHL this year. They would have to be granted an exception for Wright to head to the AHL.
Also clarifies, Wright can again play 9 games with Seattle Kraken.
I’d expect him to do the same and healthy scratch a bit, but the Kraken’s 9th game is October 28th.
If there’s no posting on the rule, and Wright gets stuck in OHL/NHL, we should know by Halloween.
