The Nashville Predators' blockbuster trade on Sunday afternoon seemed to come out of nowhere. While it had seemed clear that Shane Wright would be on his way out of the Seattle Kraken organization at some point, it didn't seem imminent. Then, all of a sudden, Wright was heading to Nashville while Matthew Wood was sent to the Pacific Northwest.
Wright spoke with the local media after his first practice with the Predators on Monday. "I'm super excited," the 22-year-old center said. "[I'm] really looking forward to being here [and] being a part of this group.
The former fourth-overall pick then spoke about his departure from the Kraken.
