The only variable there is that they have both Beniers and Stephenson locked up until 2027-28 at C. For a team in their position I can see them moving Wright to allocate depth/futures in another position.

Would I be in on Wright? That's a whole other discussion I've been debating with myself this season. Personally I think I would, I think for any rebuilding team you need to take a couple risks on under performing high-end prospects, especially centres. We're not gonna hit on every draft pick anyways.
