There are discussions about the Seattle Kraken potentially trading Shane Wright, the former fourth-overall pick in the 2022 draft, but the Montreal Canadiens’ interest seems unlikely. Canadiens’ GM Kent Hughes has previously pursued centers like Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook, but neither has met expectations. With Wright’s production declining significantly, Montreal is seeking a proven second-line center ready to contribute, rather than a player struggling with consistency. The Canadiens’ focus has shifted from development to immediate results, making Wright an unsuitable fit.
