Last season, Wright received limited minutes in the NHL when he was able to get into the Kraken lineup. Wright was eventually allowed to play in the AHL on a conditioning stint after sitting out of the lineup for nearly a month. Wright was finally assigned to Canada's World Junior team, before being returned to the Ontario Hockey League.
Seattle Kraken General Manager, Ron Francis said recently that if Wright isn't able to make the NHL roster, they will apply for an exemption for him. This will allow Wright an opportunity to try and play for the Coachella Valley Firebirds to continue his development. This would be the only option or Wright must be returnes to the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL.
