Shane Wright traded by the Kraken? An informant makes a mysterious publication
While many reliable sources suggest that talks have really heated up regarding a trade involving center Bo Horvat, reporter Rick Dhaliwal just reported that the Seattle Kraken is seriously in the running.
Another Vancouver reporter added this:
That said, the price is high and there have been more than a handful of teams with very serious interest, especially in the last week."

That said, NHL tipster John Buccigross shared this post with a photo of Shane Wright.
To see:
As you can imagine, this has caused a huge stir among fans and speculations have been running wild over the past few hours.
Considering that the Kraken has a real chance to make a run at the playoffs this season, which would be major for their young franchise and increase the hype for this team in Seattle, will their general manager go all out to acquire a star player like Bo Horvat?
It certainly seems that way. It could change everything for them.
Horvat, 27, has 30 goals and 49 points in just 45 games this season.
Wright, 19, has 2 points in 8 games this season, but was sent down to junior because his head coach wouldn't give him NHL ice time.
Is this suggestion from Buccigross realistic? You be the judge, but Horvat would definitely help the Kraken a lot more this season and in the coming seasons, compared to Wright.
Does an expansion team trading a freshly drafted top prospect for an established, productive player bring back memories?
We're obviously talking about the Nick Suzuki and Max Pacioretty trade between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens.
