The Nashville Predators have acquired forward Shane Wright in a trade with the Seattle Kraken, a move described as buying low on the former top prospect with hopes the deal pays significant dividends.
Details of the trade package were not disclosed in the initial report. Wright, selected fourth overall by Seattle in the 2022 NHL Draft, has yet to establish himself as a consistent NHL contributor.
The Predators are betting that a change of scenery and opportunity will unlock Wright's offensive potential, which made him a highly touted junior player with the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League.
