Wright/Kyrou - FWIW

[skilles]

shane wrights production for is a lil better than dvorskys and he is like a year and a half older.

I think trading kyrou to them for shane wright, fiddler and 1st 2026

I think thats a fair trade for kyrou

You aren’t getting any extras for Kyrou. No way they are moving Wright and a first. I still believe the Blues have to add

I think its pretty even.

It’s about as close as a one for one hockey trade can be. Only say the Blues might have to throw in a pick because of Wright being younger.

I'd love to actually know what both sides think

[BluesDom]

I would flip that around. Seattle would throw in a pic because the player is unproven. Kyrou is a 70 pt player.

My next door neighbors are Kraken season ticket holders in their 70s who we chat with when we see outside with dogs. Like two days ago they were getting in their car to see the Ducks game I happened to be out. I told them I hoped we traded them Kyrou. I may have said 'dumped Kyrou on you' can't be certain ...

Seattle c'mon pal we're still waiting patiently for you to weigh in on Shane Wright...you are our boots on the ground in the Emerald City! Quit frolicking with the Orcas or whatever you guys do up there and help us out!

my take on Wright is that he appears to have the ability to slot into a forward group the way we would want, but at this early point in his career he still vanishes for long stretches in a way he should not. for people who are familiar with Jordan Kyrou, there's a reason they are being plausibly discussed for each other. Wright of course has the draft pedigree (to some lingering degree), the center position and the age advantages, but Kyrou has the actual production over time. Seattle doesn't think about this unless they are confident in Catton and O'Brien at the center position.

tbh most of my Area Osmosis has been about the Mariners and Seahawks. The people here are deeply connected to those two. I do see a decent amount of Kraken apparel, and they see me in Blues shirts and hats at the gym and the softball field but nobody's striking up hockey conversations, they are focused elsewhere.

I think Wright is the trade you make with Kyrou. It also helps if the plan is to move on from Thomas and/or Schenn. Perhaps go with something like Wright, Dvorsky, and O'Reilly down the middle until you find another legit C.

Then again, I'm also partial to the idea of using Kyrou to acquire David Jiricek, drafiting Ivar Stenberg and then calling the Tkachuck boys home and then we officially form the St. Louis Blues Brothers....It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses...

In all seriousness, I think there's a lot on the table, maybe even a lot agreed to in principle, but everyone's waiting for the Olympic break before pulling the trigger. Patience.

how exactly are we acquiring O'Reilly?

Why would we want David Jiricek? Hes been pretty underwhelming imo. Why would we do that? wt f?
We arent getting the Tkachuk's.
O'Reilly--stop it!!

[TheJackBurton]

Right now the Kraken are tied for the last playoff spot with 2 other teams and only 3 points ahead of the Preds.

If there is a team that is likely desperate to make a move it is them.

Wright is a pretty big trade chip and right now is contributing very little for them.

They don't have a winger of Kyrous ability anywhere on their roster

I think there's a lot of smoke around his availability and if you can talk Kyrou into it, I think that's a trade this team needs to make.

You hope Wright starts figuring it out and starts playing the #1 overall draft pick he was expected to be.

A 1/2/3 of Thomas, Dvorsky, Wright(if he figures it out) would be as good a young center group as any other team has out there.

I think this one gets done.

Well if it's Draft Pedigree that we should focus on, then let's get Alexis Lafrenière from the Rangers while we're at it. That should also address the Top 5 Pick concern as well.

[zamadoo]

If it's as simple as a 1 for 1 trade of Kyrou for Wright, then yes absolutely, I hope this happens. ASAP. For all parties.

then let's get Alexis Lafrenière from the Rangers while we're at it.

Him, Kotkaniemi, maybe a few others worth looking at...at least for a change of scenery and transition to a new core.

Oh I don't know, I guess we can't just ask politely? We're in a thread about trades, let's put two and two together.

Im a bit dense. I often miss sarcasm on this forum.

I guess you were being silly and I failed to pick that up.

One never knows with this place. Every prospect is better than Thomas or Kyrou according to most.

ok let's look at this another way, why would Nashville make him available? He's their top line center and they are fighting for a playoff spot and has another season on his contract. Nashville has no reason whatsoever to trade him.

Is there a question? You know a lot about the Junior Hockey Players, I'll give you that.

jack i completely agree with you

I still think kyrou being a 70+ and 30 + scorer gets more than shane wright. I think we can get fiddler and a 1st as well.
