Seattle Kraken prospect Shane Wright hasn't yet met the lofty expectations, but he's confident his time in the AHL will pay off.

"Obviously, there are outside expectations and pressures," Wright recently told TSN. "But at the end of the day, I have my own expectations. I focus on going about my business day to day."
"It's been a process for me. I've had to learn what it's like to be a pro, take that next step, and be an impact player at that level."
Wright was granted exceptional status to play in the OHL at 15 and was the consensus top pick for the 2022 draft but fell to the Kraken at fourth overall.
He has seven points in 16 career NHL games but posted stronger numbers with the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds, reaching back-to-back Calder Cup Finals with Seattle's farm club.
It's unclear if Wright will make the Kraken out of camp this fall. Seattle named Dan Bylsma as its new head coach and spent heavily in free agency, signing Chandler Stephenson and Brandon Montour to long-term deals.
The Kraken missed the playoffs in 2023-24 after qualifying for the first time the season prior.
