Story summary

The Seattle Kraken traded one-time top prospect Shane Wright to the Nashville Predators on Sunday for young forward Matthew Wood, just over four years after drafting Wright fourth overall in 2022. Wright, who had been expected to be the number one pick but ended up with Seattle, has struggled this season with only four points in 14 games despite career-high performances in previous seasons. The Predators' general manager Chris MacFarland praised Wright's potential as a strong two-way player who will enhance their lineup’s pace. In return, the Kraken received Wood, a smaller but skilled forward drafted 15th overall in 2023 who scored 17 goals last season and has three points through 14 games this year.
