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.
The #SeaKraken have reassigned forwards Shane Wright, Logan Morrison and Ryan Winterton to the 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.
