After a nasty playoff exit in the OHL, Shane Wright will be returning to professional hockey. The Kraken have made a controversial decision on where, however.
Shane Wright, their fourth overall pick in the 2022 entry draft, was eliminated from the OHL playoffs on Thursday, and is available to join the team.
This performance may be the reason the Kraken opted to send Wright to the AHL, while it could equally be a question of his contract, as he is eligible for an entry-level slide.
Either way, the Kraken don't want Wright in the NHL. After his playoffs in the OHL, we can't really blame them.
