Wright does not look like anything special at the moment. They're thinking of sending him back to junior which is a bit of a red flag for me as someone who was projected to go 1st overall most of last year.

That's never gonna happen.  Horvat is a known commodity, but Wright was basically the consensus best centre in last years draft until he slipped.

 

Horvat is an expiring contract, without a guaranteed contract they don't entertain this

 

I'd do it myself but...

Honestly, Seattle's pretty rock solid up front tbh. I'm not sure they need Horvat. 

 

Guys who can slot into Seattle's top six include: Eberle, Schwartz, Burakovsky, Bjorkstrand, Gourde, McCann, and Beniers. Maybe throw Wennberg in there as a complimentary guy. 

 

Would he make them better? Yeah. Do they need to rush with a guy coming along the way Beniers is? I dunno. 

 

Dunn would also be a big hit to their defense, and Wright was still in the mix for being a 1OA pick, I think it's too early for them to give up on him. 

 

I'm not convinced Seattle goes for it even if they could work out an extension with Horvat beforehand.

He's played five games. Not every high pick makes the jump right away, even Nemec is playing in Utica as the 2OA.

Yeah.  There's only 3 players in the entire draft that have had a taste of the NHL.  Jiricek has just 2 games and he

will probably go back down when Boqvist returns from IR.  Maybe Slafkovsky stays up.  He's a big kid that has

already played in a men's league.
