2025 Fantasy Outlook
Considering the Kraken's tendency for balanced scoring, there's nothing wrong with Wright putting up 19 goals and 44 points over 79 appearances. There are some flaws in his profile for now -- he took just 91 shots on net, resulting in a 20.9 shooting percentage. It's possible Wright develops as a playmaking center more than a finisher, but he's still just 21 years old, so he should be able to make some gains in increasing his shot volume. He also spent a large portion of 2024-25 in a third-line role, so an increase in ice time from his average of 14:04 would also help his offense reach another level or two. Wright is a sleeper pick in fantasy, but based on what we've seen so far, the Kraken's offense will need to take a step forward for the center to cash in on his high potential. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Through his first two seasons, Wright was limited to just 16 games with the Kraken in which he garnered five goals on 16 shots, two assists and 12 blocks. With the offseason addition of Chandler Stephenson, the 20-year-old Wright could struggle to break into the top six, which will limit his chances of providing offensive upside. The offensive upside is there for the Ontario native, he racked up 22 goals and 25 assists in 59 regular-season games with AHL Coachella Valley last year, but his opportunities to show may continue to be limited due to the logjam down the middle. Still, Wright figures to be a high-risk, high-reward option heading into the 2024-25 campaign. If he can force his way into more minutes, he could produce at a high level.
There's no telling where Wright might begin 2023-24, or if he'll stay there all year. His age (19) means he'd likely be going back to OHL Windsor if he doesn't break camp with the Kraken, but he could get an exception to join AHL Coachella Valley if the Kraken want to pursue that path in his development. The center had two points in eight NHL games, 15 points in 32 AHL outings and 40 points over 24 contests in the junior ranks last year. Wright still has some wrinkles in his game to work out, so he'd likely benefit from another year outside of the NHL to become a more complete player, but there's no questioning his scoring talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be dealt
CSeattle Kraken
January 24, 2026
Seattle is open to trading Wright, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Kraken have reportedly been seeking a top-six forward and could use Wright in a package to achieve that end. Seattle selected him fourth overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He had a solid 2024-25 campaign, tallying 19 goals and 25 assists in 79 appearances. However, the 22-year-old has only seven goals and 11 helpers in 50 games this season.
