I really hope they give him true NHL minutes next year. Especially after the way this season has shaped up. What do they have to lose?

What do you guys think of trading him (or a package including him) for a current NHL star/difference maker? There’s a sense of urgency to bring in a star to put our current core over the top. Wright would be the first ask from any team with a player who would make our team noticeably better.
Personally, I think we would be selling low on him. I think he’s worth holding on to, and I’m not convinced this is a true cup contending core without a bigger overhaul.
But if we want to get better fast (and I do think there’s merit to that), that’s the kind of move we might have to make. At very least I think it’s worth asking the question.

Excellent article.
Most of the comments so far – “I didn’t read it” or “I don’t really understand player development in the NHL yet” – sort of meant as a jab, I guess, but also will acknowledge that NHL hockey is still relatively new to Seattle.
