Shane Wright

Post by UMR-alum-05 »

Seattle now publicly saying they will look to move him.

Articles are out there. Sorry no link. Use the Google machine.

Id be interested in Shane as a right hand shot.

Would have had way more interest in this had we not traded for McTavish. Unless the blues really would rather McTavish play the wing, we suddenly don’t need a top 9 center…not that you can ever have too many centers. But with RT, Dvo, and McTavish, where does Wright fit?

It's not probably not a fit for the Blues because of what Seattle will want. But Wright could play RW.

What are considered his strengths and weaknesses and why are they shopping him?

If Wright plays the wing then that could shape up nicely.

Hollywood - RT - Snuggy
JN - McTavish - Wright
Mcmichael - Dvo - Buch
Johnston - Suter - Torp

Mix and match those lines of course, but I also think Stenberg makes the opening night roster, so where would he fit? Interesting to play around with the possibilities…

It's an idea to get a young right handed shot in here.

If they would, then it’s a question of which player shows the most potential at this point….I’ll keep Dvo.

It would have to be a low price because Wright has proven absolutely nothing. I’m not against giving him a shot, but not giving up much to get him.

agreed. they'll want a lot due to his draft pedigree, but not worth much due to his underperformance

He was picked 4th OA and is currently 5th OA in points and the only reason that is the case is because an undersized d dropped way down and has put up more points.

They would argue Dvo is under performing his draft class more than Wright but obviously Dvo came from a better class

Is he hard to play against?

If Wright gets top 6 minutes and PP time, he will put up 60pts. I know people love to hate on the guy but the fact is, he’s a pretty good player when given the opportunity and he didn’t always get that chance in Seattle. I’m not saying he doesn’t have any warts, most players do.
