Breaking News - Shane Wright close to being traded
Shane Wright is currently leading Team Canada as the team's captain at the World Juniors tournament in Halifax. That hasn't stopped the conversation surrounding Wright being traded though. Wright's OHL rights are still currently owned by the Kingston Frontenacs.
As much as the Frontenacs would love to retain the services of Wright, sitting middle of the pack in OHL standings, they are far better off to move on. That's exactly what it seems they'll do. According to former NHL Scout, Grant McCagg a deal appears imminent.
The expectation is that Kingston will trade Wright's rights sometime between now and the end of the WJC. Might he be going to the @Ottawa67sHockey? Stay tuned.
Given his lack of playing time it appears Wright could be destined to be sent back to the Ontario Hockey League. Wright has been unable to find consistent playing time with the Kraken, so an opportunity to return to junior hockey could provide him with a fresh start.
If Wright is sent to the OHL, he'll be unable to be recalled until his juniors season is finished.
