"I got drafted into the NHL," he said. "I achieved that lifelong dream of being drafted to an amazing team in Seattle with a great future ahead. I wouldn't say it's relief, I would say more excitement, more proud and just honored to be drafted."
“我被选进了NHL，”他说。“我实现了我毕生的梦想，即将被征召到西雅图，这是一支拥有美好未来的优秀球队。我想说这太难以置信了，我太激动了，非常自豪，能被选中是我的荣耀。”

Wright said his father whispered in his ear, "We love Seattle. We wanted Seattle." His father and his agent both said, "It's a good spot to be." Francis, himself a No. 4 pick by the Hartford Whalers in the 1981 NHL Draft, told him he was happy and proud to pick him and that he was excited to have him. Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said the same thing.
Wright说他的父亲在耳边低语，“我们热爱西雅图。我们想要去西雅图。”他父亲和经纪人都这么说，“这是个好地方。”Francis本身就是4号秀，他在1981年被威尔士人选中，他告诉Wright说他非常开心，很自豪能选中他，对于拥有这么优秀的球员而感到兴奋。海怪主教练Dave Hakstol表达了同样的意思。

"At the end of the day it's less about the number you go and more about where you go, the position you're in and the best fit," Wright said. "It's a great situation for me. I think it's a great fit. It's something I'm really proud to be a part of, really excited to build to the future in Seattle and be a big part of the future."
“在一天结束时，你要关注的不是你的顺位，而是你去了哪里，那是你所处的位置，也是最适合你的，”Wright说。“对我来说，这是个伟大的位置。我很自豪能成为其中的一员，很兴奋能在西雅图开创未来，成为未来的重要一员。”

Francis said the Kraken started talking about the possibility of Wright falling to them at No. 4 a few days ago.
Francis说球队在几天前就讨论过Wright掉到第4位的可能性。

"You had the inkling that Montreal might go with Slafkovsky, and if that happened you start looking at the other teams," Francis said. "Jersey's need was not so much in the middle as it was on the back end. Sure enough, they chose the defenseman at No. 2. When you do that, there's two centermen left and there's two picks left to go, so at that point, it was a possibility we were going to get a centerman. We're excited to get Shane at that position."
“你已经有所耳闻加拿大人可能会选择Slafkovsky，如果真是那样，你就开始要考量其他球队的需求，”Francis说。“魔鬼在中锋位置上的需求不是那么迫切，他们的问题在后场。确实，他们在第2顺位选择了后卫。当你这么考虑时，就会有2个中锋人选供你选择，所以在这个条件下，我们将很大可能得到一个中锋。我们对能在这个位置得到Shane感到非常兴奋。”

Wright said he had some pre-draft communication with the Kraken, including going out to dinner with several of their scouts at one point, but he hadn't spoken to them since the 2022 NHL Scouting Combine that was held in Buffalo from May 30 to June 4.
Wright说他在选秀前和海怪有过沟通，包括和几位他们的球探共进晚餐，但自从5月30日到6月4日水牛城的联合试训后，他就没有再联系过他们。

He also knows Seattle assistant Paul McFarland, who was hired for his second stint with Kingston as the team's general manager and coach in 2020 before coronavirus concerns canceled the 2020-21 season.
他也认识海怪助理教练Paul McFarland，2020-21赛季在由于新冠取消前，后者是Kingston队的球队经理和主教练，也是他的第二份工作。

"I have a good understanding of what they're all about and I really like everything about it," Wright said of the Kraken. "I really like what they're building and where I fit into their organization."
“我很清楚他们做的事情，我真的很喜欢这一切，”Wright对球队表态。“我真的很喜欢他们正在构建的东西，我也很适合他们的组织。”
