I think this would be a question that wouldn't be answered until midseason, since we likely won't know what specific areas of the Kraken roster would need to be upgraded before then. For now, I think in the highly unlikely scenario Wright ends up as trade bait he'd likely be dealt in one of two different scenarios:

- As part of a package for a star, say a game breaking goalscorer or top-tier defenseman
- In a swap for a young NHLer of similar caliber at another position

I think it's also worth mentioning that the Kraken let Geekie go in part so Wright could slide into the lineup, so there's a chance that if the Kraken are in the thick of cup contention by the middle of the next season he's a big reason why.

I’d say it’s too soon for Seattle to cut bait on Shane Wright. If in two years, he is still in Nolan Patrick territory, then they would probably trade him for what they can get.
