"I've already had discussions with Hockey Canada about that, so they kind of know where I stand. For me, he's kind of been there, done that, so I don't see him being part of the World Juniors this year. He's actually up with us now."
Wright to become a full-time NHLer?
Last week, Wright was recalled to the NHL after Jordan Eberle suffered a gruesome injury, and after a hot start in the AHL this season, this is his chance to cement his spot on the top roster.
"He's making a lot of strides. We're excited about the game he has and what he can do. - Ron Francis
In seven games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds this season, Wright notched four goals and two assists, and if he can continue that level of play, the team will hope he can find a spot on this team and become the star they hope they drafted last year.
