I don't see Seattle doing that deal. The narrative around them giving up on Shane Wright is not true, and the whole situation is very misunderstood. The Wright prospect hate has become far too prevelant. he put up 1.85 PPG in the OHL last season, which was the second highest in the league that season, and would have been second this year as well. He also put up .75PPG in the AHL as an 18 year old last year, while also being the Captain of a gold medal winning WJC team. This year he is putting up just over .75 PPG in the AHL while being great both ways, when he's not even supposed to be in the AHL this year. Even if they chose to move on from him I highly doubt they would consider moving him for Nelson. Nelson isn't a bad player but Seattle is not competing now and he does not move the needle, the Isles aren't even competing with him and they have a more talented team than the Kraken.
