Wright was reassigned to OHL Kingston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright is fresh off captaining the Canadian World Junior team to a gold medal as the team defeated Czechia 3-2 in overtime Thursday. The decision to send him back to Kingston comes as no surprise as it's been rumored for weeks that this would happen. Wright has a goal and an assist through eight NHL appearances this year.

Wright was loaned to the Canadian Junior team for the upcoming World Junior Championships on Thursday.

Wright scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Wright took the confidence he found while on a conditioning stint with AHL Coachella Valley and applied it in his first game back in the NHL. He scored in the first period, and it coincidentally came against the team that passed him over with the No. 1 overall pick at the 2022 Draft. Wright is up to two points, four shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in eight contests for the Kraken. His time with the big club could still be short, as it's possible he's loaned to Team Canada for the World Junior Championship.

Wright was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Wright tallied five goals in six games during his conditioning stint. Prior to being sent down, the rookie forward had been a healthy scratch on a regular basis for Seattle. He has one assist through seven career NHL appearances and it's unclear if the team plans to get him more playing time at the top level.

Wright was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on a conditioning assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Wright has two assists in seven games this season. He's been a healthy scratch for the last five contests and nine of the last 11. He'll see some more playing time in the minors while Seattle decides what level he'll play at for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign.

Wright logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Wright picked up his first NHL point with the secondary helper on Ryan Donato's breakaway tally in the second period. This was Wright's third appearance of the season, but he's yet to exceed seven minutes of ice time in any of those games while adding just one shot on goal, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. It's still uncertain if he'll stick with the Kraken all year or end up having a nine-game audition before returning to the junior ranks. The limited usage will make it tough for fantasy managers in redraft formats to have much patience with the 18-year-old center.

Wright will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's game versus the Kings, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Wright didn't record a fantasy-relevant stat in 6:14 of ice time versus the Ducks on Wednesday, and he's out of the lineup a day later. The 18-year-old earned a spot on the Kraken's roster with a strong training camp, but it appears he still has some progress to make before he has the full trust of head coach Dave Hakstol.

Wright signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kraken on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle selected Wright with the fourth overall pick in this year's Entry Draft. The 18-year-old forward racked up 32 goals and 94 points through 63 games with the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs in 2021-22. At this point it isn't clear if Wright will immediately make the jump to the NHL or return for one more season with the Frontenacs in 2022-23.
