What’s next for Shane Wright and the Seattle Kraken?

Mandatory Credit: Sergei Belski-USA TODAY SportsThat was 26 days ago. Since then, the Kraken have played 10 games. Wright has suited up in two of them with just 22 minutes of total ice time.
That’s why the AHL is a nice little stopgap. But like any stopgap, it’s temporary, allowing him to play up to five games during a maximum of 14 days. Fourteen days from Sunday is Dec. 5, two days after the fifth possible game he could play with the Firebirds. On Dec. 6, the Kraken play Montreal – the team most people expected to pick him – which wouldn’t be an awkward return or anything.
It’s what happens next that’s the biggest question. Do they bring him back to Seattle? Would he even have a spot left for him? Would he head back to Kingston, or another OHL team via trade? Wright’s situation is complicated because he’s probably still too good to go back to junior, but the agreement with the CHL prevents him from going to the AHL full-time. But it wasn’t working in Seattle, and barring injuries, he’d likely end up back on the sidelines again.
