20-Year-Old CenterC
Seattle Kraken
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Through his first two seasons, Wright was limited to just 16 games with the Kraken in which he garnered five goals on 16 shots, two assists and 12 blocks. With the offseason addition of Chandler Stephenson, the 20-year-old Wright could struggle to break into the top six, which will limit his chances of providing offensive upside. The offensive upside is there for the Ontario native, he racked up 22 goals and 25 assists in 59 regular-season games with AHL Coachella Valley last year, but his opportunities to show may continue to be limited due to the logjam down the middle. Still, Wright figures to be a high-risk, high-reward option heading into the 2024-25 campaign. If he can force his way into more minutes, he could produce at a high level. Read Past Outlooks

Adds assist in loss
CSeattle Kraken
December 22, 2024
Wright produced an assist and added two hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Dan Bylsma continues to tinker with his lines, and that resulted in Wright playing alongside Jared McCann and Yanni Groude. The trio combined on McCann's first-period tally. It's a good spot for Wright, who has taken strides in recent weeks and will now get to play alongside a strong scorer and a steady defensive forward until the next shuffle. Wright has three goals and six assists through 11 games in December, and he's at a total of 16 points (six on the power play), 32 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-1 rating through 33 appearances.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
There's no telling where Wright might begin 2023-24, or if he'll stay there all year. His age (19) means he'd likely be going back to OHL Windsor if he doesn't break camp with the Kraken, but he could get an exception to join AHL Coachella Valley if the Kraken want to pursue that path in his development. The center had two points in eight NHL games, 15 points in 32 AHL outings and 40 points over 24 contests in the junior ranks last year. Wright still has some wrinkles in his game to work out, so he'd likely benefit from another year outside of the NHL to become a more complete player, but there's no questioning his scoring talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Non-starter in trade talks
CSeattle Kraken
June 5, 2024
Wright's name has been brought up in trade conversations, but Kraken general manager Ron Francis has no interest in trading the center, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright is apparently very much part of the Kraken's future plans, even as their need for a couple of scoring forwards is glaringly obvious. The Kraken have been linked to a few forwards via trade or free agency already, but any potential trade package likely won't include Wright. The 20-year-old center put up 47 points in 59 regular-season contests for AHL Coachella Valley and added five points in eight games with Seattle.
