The Seattle Kraken likely haven't got the production they were hoping for from top pick Shane Wright, but it appears they're confident in his future with the team.

The 2022 NHL Draft was a very eventful one, and after being considered a lock to go No. 1 overall, Shane Wright ultimately fell to No. 4 where he was drafted by the Seattle Kraken. Since that point however, his development has been up-and-down in Seattle, and given his lack of consistent playing time in the NHL, there's been whispers that he could be moved this summer.

Now, insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period has given an update on his potential availability, and it's not good news for fans of teams that were hoping to acquire the talented star.

"There has been chatter lately that some teams plan on asking Seattle about Shane Wright's availability. Ask all they want, but I'm told Seattle GM Ron Francis has no interest in moving him and the plan is to have him push for a fulltime roster spot on the Kraken next season." - David Pagnotta

This off-season, we've already seen Wright linked to several teams looking to build for the future, but it appears as though GM Ron Francis is looking to push him into a major role next season. In 8 games with the Kraken a year ago, Wright finished the year red-hot, tallying 4 goals and an assist over that time, and after dominating the AHL level, there's nothing more for him to prove, so expect to not only see Wright on this roster next season, look for him to play a huge role.
