The Nashville Predators have traded prospect Matthew Wood to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for forward Shane Wright, according to a report from the Nashville Tennessean on Sunday.
The deal sends Wood, a 2023 first-round selection, to Seattle while bringing Wright, the 2022 first-overall pick, to Nashville. Both players are considered high-end prospects who have yet to establish themselves at the NHL level.
Wood, 19, was selected 15th overall by Nashville in the 2023 NHL Draft and has been developing in the university ranks. Wright, 20, was the top pick in the 2022 draft by Seattle and has split time between the NHL and AHL.
The trade was reported by Alex Daugherty of the Nashville Tennessean on November 1, 2026.
