Shane Wright has made the NHL with the Seattle Kraken, or has he? He has only played seven of Seattle's first 13 games and is playing less than ten minutes a game when he is dressed.

If he is returned to his junior team, the Kingston Frontenacs it is safe to assume he would be traded to a contending team.

This would help the Frontenacs with their intention to bid on the 2024 Memorial Cup. For more on that read my OHL Update article posted on DobberProspects.

On this episode Peter looks at his top five suitors for a Shane Wright trade, Flint Firebirds, Windsor Spitfires, London Knights, Ottawa 67's and Peterborough Petes.

Hockey is back! Peter talks about top prospects off to hot starts in the NHL, AHL, and NCAA.  Fantasy tips on prospects in the AHL and how waivers can pact their fantasy value.

Shane Wright, is he heading back to the OHL?

Leafs need move out some contracts to sign Matthew Knies or one of their goalie prospects to help out with injury relief.

And a Scott Perunovich injury update. Its not looking good for Perunovich.
