You are so underrated
Shane is going to max out at 60 points.
He is in a unique situation. Most high rated draft picks go to teams with little talent pool. Seattle has a lot of new young talent they picked up from every team. Seattle also has an equally talented farm team for the same reason.
Shane sucks
Toronto will take him as our 4C and graduate him to a 3C. 😃
I never understood the hype around him. I looked at a bunch of pre draft evaluations of him last year and didn't see anything special. Look at Bedards highlights, and he's like a cat toying with a mouse. Wright has to put in the work to put up points even in the O. He's very physically developed and puts the effort in every shift, but in terms of talent and hockey sense I just don't see it.
As a Habs fan I have no issues with Wright. I feel bad that his NHL team has no say where he plays if its not in the NHL. I feel if he is not NHL ready should be able to send him to the AHL where he will learn what he needs to improve to get to the NHL more. It is Unfortunate that if he is not ready next year they will have to have him in the OHL for at least 25 games. This is horrible because this can actually harm a players development this OHL deal only benefits the OHL none for the player player needs to play in a spot that will help his development best and I don't see it being in the OHL
Trade Shane to a team that needs a 2nd line center
Shane is the new Alexander Daige
He's in a good situation. Seattle will move aging, expensive pieces and Wright will soon slot somewhere on this still-improving still brand-newish squad. The focus will be on Beniers and now this Bedard wunderkind in Chicago, and not on this kid who for a long time was expected go 1st overall. That attention will be on Slafkovski and the still-poor Canadiens.
