The Seattle Kraken are carefully weighing their options on young star Shane Wright, a top draft pick still on his entry-level deal. With the team seeking a high-impact forward to solve their scoring woes, they’re holding firm—no rush to trade Wright, who has no trade protections and could fetch even better offers later. Management, led by Jason Botterill, faces tough decisions with UFA players but sees value in patience: Wright’s youth, potential positional flexibility, and high draft pedigree make him a coveted asset. Teams will keep circling, and the Kraken’s strategy? Wait for the right move—whether it’s a lineup upgrade or a blockbuster trade.

The Kraken’s season is shaping up to be a breakout moment — with Shane Wright poised to smash 30 goals, Joey Daccord ready for a goalie resurgence, and Philipp Grubauer adding playoff pressure in net. The team’s cap flexibility could shift Chandler Stephenson to the bottom lines, freeing up top-six roles for Beniers and Wright. While the Pacific Division still looks weak, veteran teams are aging and directionless — giving Seattle a golden chance to sneak into the playoffs. This is their year to prove they belong.

Seattle’s Kraken, fresh off regaining their identity and holding the seventh overall draft pick, are poised to make bold moves this offseason. With a struggling offense and ample cap space, they’re eyeing high-profile free agents like Alex Tuch—potentially commanding over $10M annually—and exploring trades, including moving Shane Wright. While center options are scarce, the team may need to rely on savvy signings and rapid development of young talent to turn around their season and compete for the future.
