Falling to 4th overall to the Seattle Kraken in last years draft was quite a shock, what came next was comedy of errors in his early development, hardly playing any hockey games before the World Juniors in December of last year.

Of course, Wright still has a long way to go in his professional career, but at one, hailed as the best prospect in junior hockey, it just shows how much a player can fall off if not handled correctly.
Couple that with his perceived character issue and he's gone from one of the best prospects in the game to a middle of the road prospect at best.
