Seattle Kraken Shane Wright is going viral for all the wrong reasons after a video of him surfaced where he referred to himself as a generational talent in the NHL. <a href='https://komonews.com/sports/nikos-sports-zone/the-start-of-something-special-shane-wright-sets-the-stage-for-next-year-and-beyond-seattle-kraken-climate-pledge-arena-national-hockey-league-nhl-young-star-late-season-2024' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Shane Wright</a>, a promising forward, has frequently been associated with displays of overconfidence and arrogance in the media, even before the day he was drafted. Over a month before the 2022 NHL Draft, Sam Cosentino asked him about his expectations. Wright, then a star for the Kingston Frontenacs, confidently asserted that he was unquestionably the top pick in the draft class. However, when the time came, he was selected fourth overall by the Seattle Kraken. As he stepped onto the stage, he glared at the Montreal Canadiens, who had passed on him, disregarding his over-confident prediction. <q>I believe that's where I should go. I believe that I'm the best player. I believe that, you know, throughout my play, throughout my entire life, it has shown that I'm the best player, and I'm a competitive guy, and I want to be that spot, and I don't want anyone to take that from me, and I believe that I'm deserving of being that number one spot, and I believe that I'm going to be the first pick</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/petetheleafsfan/status/1545196844275441664'> </a></blockquote></div> Once again, Shane Wright has overestimated his abilities. NHL Fantasy projected him to achieve 48 points in the 2024-25 season. When this projection was announced, a fan quickly used it to criticize Wright, who had recently declared himself a generational talent in an interview. Although 48 points in a season is respectable, it falls short of what one would expect from a player claiming such a title, especially when considering that, last season, this point total would have placed him 138th in the league, far behind the top performers who scored at least double that amount. <q>I'm still a player that I should be. I'm still a generational talent.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1827345950626468075'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Johnny__Canada/status/1827523931961434591'> </a></blockquote></div> There's no denying Shane Wright's skills, as he recorded 22 goals and 47 points in 59 games with the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds last season. Nevertheless, his self-assessment seems exaggerated, and his recent comments have made him the subject of online ridicule once more. One can only hope that this experience teaches him a lesson and to become more humble.
