F Shane Wright - Kingston Frontenacs, OHL (2022 Draft)

[Petey3329]

No mention of this kid yet but he’s a 2004 birth year who plays for 2003 DMF (easily there best player) also skated in silver stick (did not look out of place at all) for the 2002 DMF. Impressive player does everything well. Just maybe someone to look for next year.. maybe an exceptional player. Has the tools but in saying that I have seen him play only a few times

No I don’t, more then anything I am going off of word of mouth. Few of my athletes have played against him
And give him incredible praise. So I checked him out and the praise is worthy. 200 foot player

Does he eat breakfast?

Another 2004 birth year like Matthew Savoie whom some are speculating could be granted exceptional status by Hockey Canada and the CHL.

Priority Selection | '03 Mid-Term Top-200: Released

1) Shane Wright: If his YOB was 2003, make no mistake that he's the clear-cut #1 in this crop, in our mind. Unfortunately that's not the case, as his January 5th, 2004 birthdate won't make him automatically eligible. That being said, being the top player in the '03 age group, we've decided to include him in our '03 ranking for the bantam season and will make a similar determination next year. Ultimately, the OHL and Hockey Canada may have to make a decision on whether or not that's the case. It's pretty clear they missed an opportunity with Jack Hughes, although it's ambiguous about how that all went down, but with Joseph Veleno and Sean Day still on the books, the jury is out as to whether or not they'll go down this path again.

I have seen Wright play. He is a very strong prospect. I feel that the CHL will be much more guarded with exceptional player status because the last 2 guys (Day and Veleno) have been relatively disappointing. In my opinion, an exceptional player status should be reserved for a player who is just that, EXCEPTIONAL. With players like McDavid, Tavares and even Ekblad, it was warranted. They all were drafted first overall in the NHL. Day and Veleno are good players, but both could end up complete busts. I don't think Day will ever be anything in the NHL. Wright will have to absolutely dominate Midget Minor next year to even be considered.

I don't think Hockey Canada made any major mistakes with Hughes. We all thought he was a dual, but now that we know both parents are American and despite growing up in Toronto, Jack was only an American citizen. It's not like granting exceptional status would have helped sway him to picking Canada. Unless they're referring to just missing out on such a big talent coming to the CHL, then yeah. Is there a rule about granting exceptional status to Americans?

But if Wright puts up another monster season I hope Hockey Canada doesn't feel too burned by the Day/ Veleno, if it's warranted then he should get it.

Another top 2004 prospect to be on the lookout for is Maddox Fleming. Fleming is playing varsity hockey and Minnesota and averaging close to 2 points a game. He fits in with a high elite crop of 2004 players whom colleges are intensely looking at. He is easily in the top 4 forwards in the states which includes Rutger McGroarty, Nick Pierre, and Frank Nazar.

I can see the headlines now before his NHL draft..

If it aint Wright, it's wrong

Haven't seen any of these guys, save for McGroarty in a WSI game, but there looks to be a lot of high end forwards in this age group.

In Ontario, i've been impressed with Shane Wright, Adam Fantilli, Kocha Delic, and Brody Crane

Actually saw a game between Fleming and Wright in Winnipeg. Each had 5 or 6 points each

Maddox Fleming and Rutger McGroarty are some funky names

After 30 plus years of seeing the young minor hockey phenoms come and go I’ve learned to temper my enthusiasm , to a certain degree, when I see that (early) January birthdate. That said , never seen him play but have heard the accolades for s couple seasons now. Be interesting to watch

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Someone just reminded me that this year is the 2000 born draft ad now we are talking about 2004 born player
Why do I feel old as a 21 years old

 

[NYIschremp44]

Anyone see him at the Titans tournament?

 

[OSA]

Didn’t see him play but he led the Titans tournament in scoring with 17 points in 8 games. Not too shabby.

Found this video of him from the tournament. It’s very impressive.

Even though he's playing up a year and dominating, that January birthday tempers your enthusiasm?

 

[grentthealien]

For those who have watched him play how would you describe his game?

 

[Daximus]

Both him and Savoie have January birthdays so it will be really easy to compare them in that sense. They are both getting typical high end hype and are both deserving of it so far.

Talked about on Insider Trading. Seems likely he is going to apply for exceptional status. I think the OHL will be a bit reluctant given how Day turned out, and how it looked bad for the league, but Wright may be worthy. I don't closely follow GTHL hockey, but talking to people at the Toronto Titans Tournament he was the best player on the ice.

Bonafide player, would have no problem playing in the OHL a year early.

 

[Red Solo Cup]

i can’t find any stats on this kid, hopefully he is doing very well. can anybody speak to his potential upside?
