The Seattle Kraken Demote Shane Wright Despite His Recent Performances

In a somewhat unexpected turn of events this afternoon, the Seattle Kraken announced that Shane Wright, along with teammates Logan Morrison and Ryan Winterton, will be heading back to the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds.

This decision comes despite Wright's noteworthy performance during his recent time with the Kraken.

Having been recalled from Coachella Valley, Wright made a notable impact in just five games, racking up three goals and two assists. His contributions seemed to signal a promising uptick in his NHL trajectory, especially given his status as a former top 5 draft pick.

With the Firebirds preparing for what looks to be an intense AHL playoff push, it appears the Kraken believe Wright's skills will be indispensable there.

Fans and analysts alike will be keen to see whether this stint in the AHL is just another step in his development or if it foreshadows his role in the Kraken lineup for the upcoming NHL season.
