We should start talking about Shane Wright

[LuGBuG]

If I had a nickel for every time a parent thought their child was destined for sporting greatness only to fizzle out in their teens I’d have a handful of nickels.

Coached AAA hockey for 10 years. Saw and heard some hilarious things.

Seattle isn't gonna get rid of him... So stop with the whole trade ideas.

Well he's been kinda sucking. It wouldn't surprise me if Seattle tried to move him.

Necas for Wright ?

 

[Brookbank]

This guy peaked at 16. Just been trending down since then. Never a fan of drafting players on downward trends, especially something high like in the top 5.

Jake Virtanen 2.0. But he'd have to get 18 goals in the NHL

 

[VaporTrail]

6 goals so far in 3 years...yikes

Even if he completely flames out of NHL, you can make good money playing in the AHL on 2-way deals or over in Europe.

I feel like people have some kind of vendetta against the kid based on hype when he was 15.

Probably has to do with his obvious arrogance & entitlement.

Guy 3rd in league scoring for a prospect struggling to stay in the lineup of a mediocre team. Seems like a fair value. Even more fair seems Paul Cotter and a 3rd. Would you take that?

Sign this canes fan up. What a great deal!

People say Habs dodged a bullet with Shane but I think it's the other way around , we did him a favor by not picking him. Guy would be crucified here. That said there's still time for the young lad

 

[Bear of Bad News]

He's almost twenty-one, but really it's been 6 goals so far in 20 years. YIKES!

He's going to be fine.

What a bum, why wasn't he scoring NHL goals when he was 5

While not passing judgement. I am now understanding why he fell in the draft. I think most projections had Wright going 1st or 2nd. Of the top ten picks from the 2022 draft only Savoie(ahl) and Marco Kasper (1st year in the league) have less pts than Wright. Wright is tied with Gauthier with the Ducks with 9 who is also in his first full year in the league.

Wright is only 20 years old. So there is a lot of time for him to come around. I look at how it took Alex Lafreniere and Kakko to turn the corner with the Rangers. Lafreniere is developing better than Kakko but both are better than their first two years in the league.

Not all players come into the league and and world beaters

Yup, some of these kids take a while to acclimatize. No sense getting impatient.
