In an interview with Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, the general manager of the Seattle Kraken said:
"Shane Wright will obviously play the entire season with the Seattle Kraken, according to general manager Ron Francis. [...]
And when in doubt, I made sure to ask (Francis) if Wright would start the year in Seattle.
"I would think so, I would think he starts the season in Seattle," Francis said (with a small smirk).
For the whole season, I asked?
"I don't want to draw a definitive line yet, but I think he's with us for the year," Francis said. "It's just a matter of how things go and how you handle it....But I hope he's going to be okay, I think he's going to be okay."
