New Seattle Kraken center player Shane Wright assured that he did not cast a murderous look at the Montreal Canadiens table when he was drafted in the fourth level at the Bell Center.

Wright denied this hypothesis shared by several Internet users in an interview on the Sportsnet network on Sunday.
“No way. I was just looking at the cameras in front of me, he justified. To be honest, I don’t really remember when I got on stage. I wasn’t trying to stare at anyone, even though that’s what the video shows.”
The striker who played with the Kingston Frontenacs last season had indicated after the draft that he was going to keep a “little grudge” against the Habs, since he had long imagined himself in the blue-white uniform -red.
Recall that the CH finally set its sights on Slovak winger Juraj Slafkovsky with the first overall pick in the repechage last Thursday.
