The points between his two seasons can be plausibly explained any number of ways that don’t point to him being a lemon on the ice.
The dreaded sophomore slump immediately comes to mind…..

I think there are better deals out there for the Kraken than with us if they are looking for an NHL proven scorer with duration and value.

I don't see us obtaining Wright for that reason.
Most likely true.

The idea of Lekkerimaki plus a sweetener for Wright only fits because they are both 2022 1st rounders. I think you toss in the 2nd because Wright was selected 10 spots higher and has proven he can play a regular shift in the bigs.

Any team paying more value than that is, imho, overpaying.
