Could the Red Wings Land Shane Wright in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft?

What are the Chances the Red Wings Land Shane Wright?

So, I’d say there is a 99.9% chance of Shane Wright going to whoever has the first overall pick in this years NHL entry draft. So, in order for the Red Wings to get Shane Wright, they’d need to have the first pick. That much is pretty easy to understand.

So, with that being said, what are the chances of Shane Wright actually landing with the Red Wings? Well, most of the time I’d just say something like “Not great” or “Unlikely”- but this time I can actually give you guys a percentage.

When looking at Tankathon.com, you can actually see a visual of where each teams stands for a certain pick. But, in case you just want to read about it- here is the odds for the first overall pick:
