The exceptional status thing plays a massive part of that hype build. The biggest exceptional status bust in this era was Sean Day. Tons of hype, never materialized. Not even a late bloomers into a serviceable NHL career.
Wright's problem was there was a ton of hype and he bought into it instead of working over the hype. But at least he will be carving out a pretty okay NHL career.
