Shane Wright allegedly proving he has attitude problems at Kraken training camp
The biggest surprise of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft was when the projected number one pick fell to fourth overall and Seattle Kraken.
The Montreal Canadiens selected Slovakian Juraj Slavkovsky first overall inside, and now that training camps and preseason are underway, we are starting to see a glimpse of why.
On a French Podcast, Mathias Brunet shared with BPM Sports how Wright was doing in his first NHL camp and shared some interesting bits of what kind of player he is:
Shane Wright scored a great goal in an inter-squad game with 10 seconds remaining, the winning goal. A typical shot, a good shot! And he (Dave Hakstol, the Kraken head coach) said, 'You got the goal, and I got a lot of other stuff.' Fuck that, I was like, 'I'm going to reporting'' that is good. I am an open-minded person. Just because people like (Juraj) Slafkovsky doesn't mean Wright isn't good or the other way around. That's the flower side. They said they were going to give him every chance to start in the National League. But I was watching a podcast with the beat guy from Seattle, and apparently, a couple of times on the ice during practice, he threw tantrums at the American League coaches. It worried him. At one point, Dan Bylsma gave instructions, and he looked at him, wanting to say: ''What is that!?'' It's a little disturbing side. It's primadonna! I give you both sides of the coin, but the guy on the podcast picked it up!
There were several reports that teams at the draft were staying away from Wright due to his attitude, and they're starting to sound right.
