Seattle is fortunate that Wright looks like he may be able to step into next season as their top-line centre.
This is like when you predicted he'd be a perennial 100 point scorer.
No he's not ready to be the Kraken's 1st line center, not even close. It's more likely he competes to be Coachella's 1C than Seattle - guys like Beniers, Gourde, and McCann are all much better options.
It would have been interesting to see what he could have done with Beniers’s persistent 18 minutes of top-line and PP1 usage this season; he almost certainly would have bettered the latter’s sub-0.5 P/GP
It's highly unlikely that he would have bettered 0.5 ppg. His NHLe in the AHL was only 32 points over a full 82 game season.
It's great he scored 4g 5p in his last 5 games, but they were against San Jose, Anaheim, Arizona, San Jose again, and LA. All of his points came in 3 meaningless games against San Jose, Anaheim, and Arizona.
More importantly, he shot at 33% during his 8 games this year. Considering he only shot 13.8% in the AHL, I think it's safe to assume that number would come down.
and may have pushed Bedard for the Calder if he gelled as quickly as he did over the cup of tea he got earlier this month.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Bedard scored at a higher clip in the NHL on the Chicago freakin Blackhawks than Wright did on a stacked AHL team.
Jesus you are delusional on this player.
