Kadri, Andersson and Vladar are the main pieces of interest right now.
Craig in this holding pattern, chasing that playoff dream (yuck imo) likely want that revenue $$

If it is the NJD 1st + Pelletier for Wright then that would be too easy.
The goalie swap would make sense to get the Kraken out from under that brutal Grubauer contract before Daccord's new contract kicks in but that only makes sense to do right now if they think they have a chance to turn their season around and climb the 9 points needed to get into the WC conversation. Otherwise it can wait for the summer.
It is interesting to see the pedestal that Wright keeps getting put on because of his draft pedigree but when you compare him to Beniers, one can see big differences between the two young players.
Wright managed to play 8 games in his first season and 8 games in his second season and is now at 54 games played in his D+3 year.
Beniers is already done his ELC and has played over 200 games in his D+4 year.
Put that together with the rumour of personality issues and you can see why Wright might be on the block.
